Exceeded our expectations

The whole property is very well kept and has a peaceful, relaxing feel. The back porch overlooking the private pond was definitely the highlight, it was incredibly cozy out there. The owners had even mowed some small walking trails for us, which was a thoughtful touch. We were also visited by a few friendly farm animals (mostly two adorable cats), which was the cherry on top for me. This place is a hidden gem, and I will definitely be staying again next time I'm in the area.
