Great country settling, relaxing. Plenty of room for a family or small group. Well stocked with pot, pans, plates and utensils. The weather was great when we were there and we spent most of our time in the carport playing cards or rocking in the rocking chairs. Worked out great for us!

We absolutely loved this place!!! It was like home away from home. Lots of room to spread out, comfortable beds with lots of pillows and blankets, well equipped with all the extras you could think of and more, beautiful setting with lots of shade trees and a covered patio area that was our favorite place to gather (the dogs loved it, too)!! Thank you for providing such a warm and welcoming place to stay! We hope to return again someday! Nate & Darlynn
