We were in town for a wedding, so all the groomsmen stayed together. We enjoyed having the fire pit for the evenings to just hang out. Great space!

Raspberry House stay
Our stay was nice. However, the two pages of rules for a group of adult women was overkill. No noise over 50 decibels? With that amount of women? 50 dB falls around halfway between a whisper and a conversation. You get one notice and for the second notice you are out. It ruined our stay. Also, there were no lights to the upper unit in the hallway or staircase. The owner was very responsive, but, it didn’t fix the problem during our stay. Otherwise everything else was fine. But, the rules were a bit demeaning to us.
