Peace and quiet after a long drive

My wife and daughter stayed here and they said it was fantastic. They read in the gazebo, spent a lot of time outside, and enjoyed the scenery and wildlife. The gardens and farm were well cared for and the hostess was very welcoming. They'll likely be back next year.
