In a word...WOW
We chose the back 40 for our wedding venue because of the beautiful property and the size of our group.
What we didn't realize at the time was that it was the PERFECT PLACE for us! The photos don't do it justice and the hosts are 110% incredible. We found ourselves often asking if they'd like to join us, they made me feel like the most special bride ever for the entire stay.
They went above and beyond from every small detail to the bigger picture. I cannot state enough how amazing our time was, how special the hosts are, how beautiful the property and the souls who live are!!
We will definitely be going back at some point and cannot recommend it enough.
What an amazing place with amazing people!
Thank you!!!!

Peaceful property
Stayed at Back 40 for an adult birthday party! The hosts were amazing. They were very attentive to all our needs. The location is very private and quiet but lots of fun things to do including enjoying nature. Great for kids but even better for adults who just want to be a kid even if it's for 1 day!

This was one of the best vacation spots we've stayed at! An awesome get-away, a home away from home with lovely hosts that welcomed us in and made us feel like family. Very nice and great hospitality!! The property is very beautiful! From the amazing pool, the beach volleyball, to riding bikes, and playing basket ball or even going fishing on their pond, you will never be bored!! Our family had a great time and would definitely come back for vacation again!! We 💗 you guys!!

Lovely stay
My family and I truly enjoyed our stay here! The hosts were genuinely kind and hospitable. It was much like staying at a b&b . The pool and beautiful grounds were so luscious and tropical. We were permitted to use the pool anytime day or night. We brought our dog and she was free to roam around freely with the dogs on property.. Large groups are permitted as well. We loved being guests here. We would love to come back one day! Thank you to the very thoughtful owners too for providing us with fresh farm eggs daily and their hospitality.
