Hostess was wonderful! Was surprised by mosquitoes as we did not see pics of the pond. Easy fix with bug spray. Would stay again.

Weekend Trip to Butterfield Meadows

A beautiful property...it was the perfect location for us to try our first 'boondocking' weekend. Very quiet and serene, completely off-grid. Corlene and her husband were gracious hosts. The only thing I would say is, ask Corlene or her husband where the best place is to pull in...suggested areas weren't marked and we were worried about swampy areas. Highly recommend if you are visiting the area.
