Lovely Property
This was a well appointed place for our quarterly board meeting with ample table space for working. Kitchen was well equipped. The grounds are lovely. However, no hair dryers! Five women and no hair dryer…not good!

Great property for our family
The entire property (house, outside, pond) was very clean and exactly as listed. It was a great place for our short family getaway and if we need to stay in the area again, I will check to see if this property is available. Thank you for the great stay!

Great Family Time
The property is gorgeous and has just the right amount of space for kids to run and explore safely. At the same time, there are plenty of spots with gorgeous views to relax with a cold drink or cup of coffee and take in the beauty of nature and kids playing about. Beds were comfortable and house/kitchen is well furnished! Highly recommend!
