This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### April K. Oct 13, 2024 #### Unique Experience Stay This provided us with such an awesome experience. To be that close to nature from the comfort of a warm cozy bed was very cool. We had turkey and deer come pay visits several times during our stay. We felt safe and the amenities were perfect to unplug for a day! We will definitely make this a part of our travels! ##### April K.

It was so quiet, clean, and the bed was amazing! The bath house was nice and clean too. Loved the outdoor shower! We appreciated the signs on the road to help direct us to the property. So glad we took a chance on this unique property, our only regret is that we didn't stay longer. Plan to return and bring our family! ##### Dawn O.
