“Tad’s” land became home to us. We were there for 11 nights and fell in love with Cody. There was so much to see and do. Tad was there with great suggestions on restaurants and must sees, and also became a dear friend.. The sunsets on the property were exceptional with the mountains being our background the entire stay. A double rainbow covered the property the night before we left, leaving us feeling like we had found a second home.
