Off the beaten path
This property is a pleasant surprise. We could not have asked for a more perfect home to enjoy and relax in. Views from the porch are beautiful and rejuvenating. The ducklings swimming in the lake added charm and humor. The hosts for this property are lovely people and they provide for every comfort. We definitely recommend this property!

Rest and relaxation at it's finest
Beautiful property, no noises around other than the chickens, ducks and turkeys. Great place to just kick back and relax, throw a fishing line out, read a book, watch the birds, whatever makes you happy to relax to. Highly recommend the place and we will be back.
