Inside, a delightful playroom continues the fun with a variety of age-appropriate toys, which the owners generously swap out between visitors, and a Smart TV to keep the kids entertained. The character then moves on to the kitchen/diner, where the group's chef may prepare a home-cooked meal for the family to eat at the dining table for six.
