    It’s a really nice place you can just relax if you want, or there are things you can do, like pickle ball, basketball, a nice pool. Rent a bike, or APV. Trail rides.

    It is an adorable property. I just wish we had gotten there before the end of the season, to experience everything. I’d 100% stay here again.
