A Very Merry Christmas at Chronos Cottage!…A Very Merry Christmas at Chronos Cottage!WW…
5/5
Let me start by saying: Brian is the best. He met us there to introduce us to the property and make sure we had all we needed. When we realized we were missing a blender in the kitchen, he came by ASAP with his own. He was easy to communicate with and easygoing about everything, and made our trip comfortable and enjoyable because of it.
The place is SO fun - we hung out in the Steampunk Library daily, building up a fire and sitting next to it playing cards or reading a book (plenty to choose from in the library - most of which I've read, by the way, great selection Brian! You have the same author tastes as we do!). Relaxing in the jacuzzi before heading to bed or after a game of golf was also high on the list of "things we love about Chronos Cottage." Though we weren't able to enjoy more of the outdoor amenities due to constant rain the week we were there, the backyard is beautiful and we hope to be able to BBQ out there the next time we come. And yes, we definitely plan on there being a next time!
Chronos Cottage is his home, literally, and so unlike many VRBO properties there are still many of his personal belongings there: costumes he designed for various movies, games and TV shows (and bolts of fabrics in every linen closet, haha!), along with so many interesting artifacts and furnishings and his family portraits on the walls (including one of him and Stan Lee!). Our ten year old nephew was beside himself as he was allowed to hold a real sword and check out the many antique devices, armory, and steampunk items around the house. And he absolutely loved his bedroom with the bunkbed in it. As did we all - every bed was comfortable, and the master was amazing. I felt like I'd stepped into a Game Of Thrones set or some exotic hotel. Every amenity was thought about and provided for, and though the lighting was dim, it was incredibly romantic.
All of these details and Brian's personal touches and items makes the place feel so much more like "home" than many other places we've stayed, which was perfect for having a Christmas in Phoenix with our extended family. With the decorations he provided, along with a few of our own he let us put up, the place felt like our own home for the holidays. That was especially important to us this year as it was a first without a close family member, and so to spend it in such lovely, comfortable, warm and interesting surroundings made it so much easier for us. Thank you Brian, so much!…Let me start by saying: Brian is the best. He met us there to introduce us to the property and make sure we had all we needed.
