Peace and tranquility!
We had a great weekend staying in "The Roost". It's so pretty and quiet. We were greeted by deer each morning and enjoyed the fire pit and sunset in the evenings. And Jim made us feel right at home. Would definitely stay here again.

Very cool
Jim is a great host. We woke him up at 1230 because we were lost and he was super nice about it (sorry Jim). Very cool property. The roost is a neat spot. We were in town for a concert. Will bring our kids back to stay and explore the property!

Peaceful Escape
The owner contacted us prior to our trip to provide instructions, met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the entire camp ground. The cabin we stayed in was tucked away, was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed long walks and fishing in each of the ponds. The owner even let ours on barrow a basketball to play some hoops. We will definitely be back.
