Our favorite part was the bubbling stream in the front yard. Our second favorite part was the deer. We saw deer in the stream. We also enjoyed the firepit. And... oh yeah... we saw deer alongside the firepit. And in the front yard. And in the driveway. By the end of the trip, we were surprised when we couldn't see deer!
