Wonderful Escape, Unique Property!

Used this property as a family get-a-way vacation. Everyone loved the place, especially the kids. The owners were very approachable and quick to answer any questions. Weather was dodgy from most of our stay but that allowed the nights to stay cool and comfortable so we were able to eat on the upper porch each night. The only negative, would have been the road leading to the "castle". While we were there, there was a lot of rain (as I mentioned) and that cause some good erosion to the road (which is all dirt). If another guest has a similar situation, just remember to use caution going up and down the drive if you do not have a truck. Overall, we had a very wonderful stay and experience. We will definitely try to come back here again!
