When I was a kid, it was my dream to live in a country house. Sometimes I'd imagine it as a castle or a château, other times it was a more humble country cottage. Although my family would rent apartments and move from town to town, somehow in my childhood mind I knew that one day I would be truly wealthy. I would rent real estate anywhere I chose, living in Scotland one year and in the Caribbean the next.

For many years, my dream of finding country houses to rent was a frustrating venture. I simply didn't have the money for a country house to rent. My vacations – if you could call them that – were two or three day affairs involving the Best Western at best, but more often cheap, fleabag hotels. I still dreamed of a country house to rent, and I was working extremely hard to get to the level of economic prosperity where I could afford such indulgences. Unfortunately, success seemed miles away.
Six months seems like a long time when you are 19, and a year seems like an eternity. In retrospect, I am glad that I waited before wasting money on country houses to rent and other such luxuries. It really wasn't very long before I could take a vacation in a country house to rent without worrying about whether I would have enough money left over to pay from rent the next month. In about five years, I was really making it big time. I wouldn't say that I was fabulously wealthy like in my dreams, but I was very comfortable and living in a house that was more than big enough for my wife and I. When we went on our first vacation to country houses to rent in Scotland, I was like a child again. I was overjoyed to be able to live my dreams.
Unfortunately, when you rent homes, there are many things that you don't think about. The country houses to rent that we stayed in at first looked good on paper, but they had a host of problems. They were drafty, slightly mildewed, and all in all a bit the worse for wear. Nonetheless, although my wife was not completely happy with the accommodations, I was ecstatic. I was so caught up in the fact that I was living my dreams that I didn't even notice some of the bad drawbacks of the country houses to rent.
