The “New” Guesthouse

Filed under: Guesthouse — by sackrosanct @

Here are pics from CHSFS’ new guesthouse (2007).  I haven’t been there, so I don’t have much to report on its whereabouts, activities or amenities.

I don’t think you should be too worried about your accommodations.  Good thing I didn’t stay there or my son would’ve had quite a let down after reaching my house in America.  Ma, where’s the satellite TV? (How about an antenna and 4 stations?)  Fireplace?  (How about a wood stove with ash burns in the carpet?)  Polished dining room table?  (Polished?  Would you settle for shiny from the hardened maple syrup residue?) Matching leather furniture?  (The only matching leather things we have in this house are your brother’s soccer shoes.) Hardwood floors? (Chipped laminate wood is pretty dang close!)  Gorgeous (living) plants? (How about synthetic plants? Less maintenance.)  3-4 decks? (Almost!  How about a front stoop, a side porchlette/steps and a cement pad behind the garage?)

Thanks to Cindy and Jayme for the photos.

  1. And they have a hot tub! Yep, this is where your money is going… Hurray man in power vision. Why pay your staff wages so they can live semi-comfortably when you can have a second house?
