We had an AMAZING stay! We were only passing through for a night, but man I wish we could have stayed longer. A beautiful view, dogs allowed off leash, and friendly hosts to boot! We will absolutely be back if we’re in the area. If you’re considering this area, look no further.

We absolutely fell in love the moment we pulled in. Can we just live here too?!? So peaceful, quiet, and serene. The 2 ponds were well stocked with bass, crappie, brim, & catfish. Very stunning sunsets too. We were greeted by 4 of the sweetest & friendliest dogs and 3 cats. Our dogs felt right at home. Amber and her husband were so sweet and made us feel very comfy ... kinda like long lost friends. Now we've made new life long friends. Will we go back... 1000% yes. This hidden gem checked all of our boxes. Wonderful for those who just want to get away. Thank you for allowing us to stay... 4 nights just isn't enough.
