Wing:
What an interesting idea. My wife and I have used a web site called vacation rentals by owner (VRBO) to stay in some very nice places around the US. This idea is sort of an extension of that concept. We have visited the London area in the past and would love to visit again, although I'm not sure when we will be ready to go.
For discussion purposes, we have 2 places here in Colorado, one is in the Denver suburb of Littleton, (it is a large 2 story, 5 bedroom, with a large park-like yard), plus we also have a condo is in the mountain community of Silverthorne. We would consider swapping either (or both) if this idea were to come to fruition. We could discuss all the other related details (cars, motorcycles) if it seems like something that makes sense. I will approach the idea with my wife and see what she thinks about it.
I should warn you though that we have pets at the Littleton residence (2 dogs and 3 cats) and they would be there, along with our 17 year old son who would house sit/pet sit for us while we were away. The condo has no pets and you would have it all to yourselves. It is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath fully equipped unit with about 1,000 square feet of interior space that overlooks some beaver ponds that sometimes have moose, elk, foxes, and/or bear.
We can toss the idea around and see if the idea makes sense. Talk with you soon.
