Positives. Process was simple. Jerry, the host, was quick to reply w/ any questions. There was 4 of us and our 9yr old pup; my Wife, our twin 15yr old boys, and me. large property. The site was quiet, secluded, and huge with a comfortable home on a hill top with a view of the neighboring farms, adjacent hills, a sprawling open field, and a pond in the foreground. It was mostly cool and we spent several hours at the fire pit adjacent to the pond. There was a ton of firewood and the view of the stars was pretty spectacular. House interior was clean, beds were plentiful and comfortable enough. plenty of linens and hot water. Heat worked well. There was cable TV (limited) and T Mobile had some service. We found a local friendly butcher shop, a grocery, an Amish cheese/bakery/deli shop and the super Walmart for supplies and all very close. We relaxed, played guitars, walked the property, explored the trails, and enjoyed using the shooting range. Boys practiced driving my truck on the long driveway for hrs!
The downside. At $400/day, the property although very pretty needs to be maintained. It was probably fantastic 20 years ago. A lot of what is listed as amenities wasn’t useable. The home is very dated, interior and exterior. It’s dark, w/ limited lighting in home. Kitchen functioned basically but there was, no lighting, no DW, no counter space, limited pots/ pans, and few accs. Water pressure/ volume in general, especially at showers, is way too restricted or low. TV and internet these days is easy and relatively cheap but cell service, internet and TV were very limited. To be fair, some of this was known prior. The deck was nice but could use a pressure wash. The front porch /exterior driveway parking area especially needs working lights. The outdoor amenities were mostly were unusable! The trails we walked haven’t been used much in years and we could barely decipher them in places w/dead trees and brush and so overgrown we couldn’t pass so no way would ATVS would have worked. Used the shooting range and we shot a lot! But it had been years since the structure had attention and the wood railroad timbers used as a backstop were replaced. They were shot up so much that they were crumbling. The pond had little to no life. We fish all the time! There’s nothing to catch. Pond area has electric but no lights or power worked. The basketball hoop was dangling. The mini golf , shuffle board wasn’t usable because the turf/carpet/concrete issues
