This architectural gem was a first-rate place to stay. The house is modern, well-appointed, immaculately clean, cheerful. The kitchen was well-equipped and pleasant to work in. The beds were comfortable, the rooms airy. House was fun to hang out in and lovely to look at from outside. The only drag was the elaborate and very thorough lighting system, which took a Luddite like me a while to master, if I ever did. But that's a mere quibble. The location is exquisite: lots of sky and stunningly quiet, with virtually no extraneous noise. We were a little startled -- an hour after our arrival -- to discover a bear munching on windfall apples in the old orchard not 40 yards from our front door. He then climbed one of the trees and sat on a high-up branch to eat the fresher fruit. He never came back, though. We had regular visitors of deer and turkeys, but just the single visit by the bear. I was a little surprised to find host Daniel and Vicky's house so close to ours, but in fact the proximity was not at all intrusive. We virtually never saw Daniel and Vicky; yet they were very rerponsive to our queries and needs. They were gone most of the week and we truly had that hill top to ourselves. We loved staying here and we hope to come back.
