Cousins’ Getaway

We had a great time at Ramsey’s Retreat! We spent lots of time on the back porch, since the weather turned stormy during our stay. We were grateful for the access to the kayaks and paddles. Everyone slept well in the well-appointed bedrooms and always had plenty of hot water for showers. Overall, we were very comfortable and it was easy to feel at home while away from home!
