This was a great place to stay with family. We were in town for a family function and this place was fantastic for kids of all ages. we had our family come back with us after our gathering and the kids all enjoyed playing with the yard games and toys they had on site. A big beautiful porch on the back and another in front. The fresh duck eggs were the topping on the cake. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect and cozy

The house was perfect. The property was the perfect distance from town. The only thing you'd hear when stepping out onto the back deck was quiet and birds. There were window ac's and fans in every room and four quaint bedrooms. It was exactly like the pictures. I will definitely be staying here again in the future. The owners were fantastic, answering any questions I had and check in was super easy and there were farm fresh eggs.
