What a great place to gather a large group for cooking, eating, conversing, playing games, doing jig saw puzzles, and playing music. My extended family came to Ashland to bury our beloved mother in the green conservation burial ground nearby, staying three days, and could not have been more comfortable. The kitchen never failed us, being exceedingly well supplied. The art on the wall, the books on the shelves, and the furnishings were all tasteful and contributed greatly to our comfort and healing.
