While this is not a gourmet kitchen, the space is perfect if you like to gather with friends and cook. We played board games almost every night as well on the large dining room table (ones we brought, although the house has some nice classics).
Our group did not have this consideration, but the property is not accessible for wheelchairs/walkers/etc., as it is multilevel inside and out. However, it did make for multiple areas into which people could retreat for more private conversations or reading. A semi-secluded hot tub and fire pit add to this privacy factor. The property is also within easy reach of grocery stores and restaurants (approximately 15-20 minutes to many parts of town).
