Great, quiet, place to escape to
We stayed here as a place to crash for a night while in the area for my bachelorette party. It worked for what we needed, and everyone was very comfortable.

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.
