This property is exactly as it is described. It’s beautiful. It’s very unique and very spacious. The wildlife on the property is absolutely wonderful. You can sit out and have your coffee while you are watching deer just casually walk around the backyard. The owner Terry was so wonderful and helpful at all times. Highly recommend this property for a family get together!
