Kick back and relax by the pool in the warmer months, or in the hot tub in the cooler months. Small trails lead to the creek running along the property, maybe you'll even catch a glimpse of the deer or turkey that wander thru...we've even seen a lil bear once!

They were respectful of solitude when needed. The studio is a perfect size, to me, and easy to use (once I found out the sofa bed has a supporting fold-up board, lol.)
