Peaceful relaxing stay

Thanks Carolee! The grounds were beautiful and it was quiet. The host, Carolee, was super nice and attentive. She knew of all the nearby attractions. The place is clean and renovated. It seems like there are more renovations to come, this place will only get better ! Thanks again.
