Great views

The property was very clean. The beds are awesome. The downfall is there’s no group seating overall we had a great time. The best part with the horses that ran by every morning.

Better than we deserve!

Our kids grew up in a crowded house, bunk beds, etc. ...so now they got to enjoy multiple rooms, no sharing a bed, nice hot tub, better views than flat farmland, walking trail a few hundred yards away....Thanks!
