Relax and enjoy

A family of three stayed in a Casita for three nights. The quaint abode added to the enjoyment. The quiet environment is definitely a plus. Accessibility to Athens is within 10 minutes, which is perfect if you want to enjoy nature and have ice cream within reach.

40th twinZ party

We had a great experience only came across a few problems. The Entranceway to the cabins wasn't so easy to locate. the parking area for the cabins were a little too small once more people started showing up to the other cabins. the latter In the cabin didn't seem stable enough and kept slipping Out from under my husband and I as we tried to climb to the top Loft area. (Mind you that we both, weigh about 200lbs each) so if there was a weight limit it. I didn't see it. Lastly no creamer at all for coffee? So may i suggest, at last a powder form. Maybe even little cheap packets. Overall, thank you so much for Lending out your space To us We had a wonderful time
