We absolutely loved our quick overnight stay! It was exactly the sort of accommodations we look for- very homey and relaxing. They offered a fire pit near the horseshoe pit and cornhole boards. The room was super clean and the owners were very welcoming! The property was well maintained with simple but appealing landscaping. Also dog-friendly which is hard to find sometimes! I would recommend this place in a heartbeat!
