"It was a great stay! The queen matteress needs to be replaced. It sloped down towards the floor on the one side... It was squished down as if that was the spot everyone sits. There was no paddle boat that was shown in the pics however, there was a canoe.There is a creek near the cabin that is almost completely surrounded by trees and shaded so we didn't utilize it because there were a lot of bugs.Overall we were very happy with the stay!"

"We stayed just one night this time (Friday). It was wonderful and relaxing. We enjoyed the wood fired pizza up the hill for dinner and breakfast made by the owner with other guests on Saturday morning (waffles, fresh fruit, coffee and tea). That allowed us to get there, relax and hang out, and stay on the property until we left on Saturday, which was nice. We did some bird watching and enjoyed the peace and quiet this homestead offers. I'm sure we'll be back again."
