A way too short vacation!
Chinquapin! I'm not sure too many of our 30+ guests learned how to pronounce the ranch name, but they all called it wonderful! Our family reunion covered an age range from 12 months to 85 years old! Relatives came from Texas, Louisiana, and Georgia. We settled in for 3 nights of bliss.
We especially made good use of the "pool!" We used the floats, kayaks, paddle boat and rope swing! My 7 yr old grandson learned how to paddle a kayak in about 10 minutes and was all over the place with it! The water was COLD which was great for July air temps! The eldest were able to watch all the water play comfortably from the shady patio by the house. The kitchen was a focal point for sure and we had such fun cooking and prepping food in the open space. There was just so much room for us to hang out!
Oh, fishing! There were a handful who fished in the lovely fish pond and got to witness one catch and release of a nice sized bass.
The little children were thrilled with the playground! And the older kids loved the rec room. No one was bored!!
The different cottages provided perfect comfort for sleeping. Each cottage was just adorably decorated and outfitted. We really could not have asked for better lodging for all of us
The pictures on the listing are great but seeing it all in real life - it is all even more beautiful!!
We are already talking about next year! And we hope we can stay longer, for sure!!
Thank you, Cecilia, for your help and advice. It was truly a terrific place for our reunion!!
