Horse country
Very relaxing stay next to a farm with lots of horses. A peaceful drive in a beautiful area. The house is large enough for our needs and it's nice to be able to see the stars tonight. It's convenient to have a kitchen.

Family stay for Son’s wedding
Our son got married in the area and we needed a place to stay with our family since we live out of state. This was absolutely perfect! Very quiet and peaceful, with lots of inside & outside space for us to spread out and relax. And while it was quite hot out, the window air conditioning units kept the inside very comfortable. Our host, Ellen, was very helpful and quick to answer any questions from booking thru our visit. We would definitely stay here again.
