The setting is beautiful and an easy drive to many local attractions. The Tolliver House is large and comfortable - should easily accomodate 12 people. There are 6 sleeping rooms and the mattresses and bedding were excellent quality. BUT - there was only 1 sofa in the LR and seating for 6 in the kitchen. There are very pleasant porches in front and back, only minimal seating. The host was gracious enough to bring us 4 metal folding chairs to supplement as we had 10 people, but metal folding chairs are not comfortable. It would be very helpful to have at least one place to sit in each BR.
All rooms except the kitchen were lit by overhead lights only, no reading lamps in BRs, nor in the LR. Some BRs had no closet, but a hanging rack was provided - with 1 or 2 hangers.
There were no written instructions for how to use the remotes for the TVs (1 in every BR). The kitchen was fairly well equipped other than the lack of chairs and a table really only large enough for 6. Nice refrigerator and separate freezer with 2 broken ice trays. There was also an icemaker but it did not work and was moldy. We also had a visitor in the pantry who managed to chew into a bag of chocolate chips.
Nice feature was laundry closet in kitchen, also snack foods to welcome us.
Most times when we stay in a large house like this, there are books (take 1, leave 1) and games provided. This could be a spectacular venue but it needs alot of up dating and more amenities.
