Lovely property and responsive hosts! You don’t need to bring anything except food and drink. Their home is like stepping into your own. Its’s turn-key. We saw deer everyday and enjoyed the pool overlooking the grasslands. There are table and chairs in various spots around the property. Hoses are in convenient places for rinsing off gear and your boat.
