We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The best parts were the big table that we could all fit around the outside fire pit with the lights and beautiful tobacco ranch’s LOVE and cross. It was perfect! Thank you

Good time
Everything was great, but a few things that were listed should be mentioned. The washer and dryer are not at the house, but are available to use by request. The televisions are not usable without your own Wi-Fi source. Location, cleanliness, and the property are very good

Great space for the weekend
Jim offered great hospitality during our stay for a local concert. He met us upon arrival and even made some arrival accommodations for us. The space was clean, exactly as described, and near bars, taverns, and a grocery store! Everything we needed was very close by. Would definitely return (:
