Beautiful calming nature
I was celebrating my 60th with my sister daughters and a couple friends. Everyone enjoyed this property. Felt like we were staying with great friends. Had everything we needed and some. Very tastefully decorated. Very comfortable beds. Lots of beautiful deck furniture to enjoy the peace and beauty. I would love to bring my children and grandchildren here in the summer months. It's a great place for family .. love love loved it. Highly recommend for a family vacation.
