If a digital detox is what you're looking for, the Serenity on Delaney's is your answer.

We also have a lovable short haired border collie named 'Benji', he will probably follow you down to the cabin and soak up as much love and attention as he can, he's harmless. We've tried to contain him in an enclosed area before, but he'd give Houdini a run for his money, please just rouse at him to go home.

Weekend Trip to Red Cedar Valley

We spent two nights at the cattlemen’s cabin for a family adventure. Had a fantastic weekend - we loved it here. The kids loved the creeks, riding on the property on their bikes and cooking marshmallows on the fire pit. We hope to return again someday.
