Functional Place to Stay
We were a bit disappointed at first glance as the place is not ascetically special at all. But we adjusted to lower expectations for what we saw and enjoyed our time. The place was clean. Kitchen was functional but the amneties of the kitchen left something to be desired. All kitchen supplies looked like things gathered from Goodwill. Maybe petty, but having a Kuerig for single coffee drinker would have been a plus and so would a corkscrew for an evening glass of wine. No Wi-fi was a drag leaving only a basic Direct TV package as entertainment option in the evenings.We enjoyed our walks into the back lot with paths to explore. The place was quiet, which we definitely appreciated. Overall, we enjoyed our stay as a silence and solitude experience without all the bells and whistles.

Relaxing get away
Out stay was one of the best we have had. Over the last 4 years we have picked a propety to stay at for our fall get away. This was the best one so far. The place was clean, the property was private and quiet. The check in and check out was simple and easy. We loved our weekend here and would recommend this place to anyone who seeks nature and solitude.
