Summary: The house was amazing and in a great location. The kids enjoyed being on a lake and seeing ducks all day long, as well as canoes and kayaks. Lower Mills Estate is a great place to vacation - very family friendly with lots of activities and sites nearby. Beautiful house and beautiful grounds, very peaceful. Two things to know about the house are that the kitchen and family room are on the third floor, so there are lots of steps to climb, and the steps are pretty steep compared to what we are used to. Second, the house is on a lake and in the countryside and there are no screens on the windows, or sliding doors, so there are lots of bugs. We knew this in advance so it wasn't a problem, but it's something to know, esp in the evenings. But neither issue detracted from a great vacation.
