If not for mother nature deciding it was time for a really good stormy weekend, it would have been a "10". First time to McCullys.....I had heard all about this place and what wonderful riding/trails is offered and was not disappointed! The cabin my BFF and I stayed in was just as promised.....just show up! We could have not asked for a nicer cabin to hold up in during the bad weather. Meeting the McCullys was a real treat, so interesting hearing all about the history of the place, they made us feel so welcomed. With the "non-riding weather" we went into town (Madison) and discovered a real gem. I will recommended to all visitors to go see this wonderful, quaint, OL' fashion downtown....great stores especially if you enjoy antiques, and get a fabulous facial and/or massage at healing waters (we turned that lemon into lemon-aid, weather wise, at this place :). I am looking forward to a return visit real soon!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
