50th Anniversary Family get together
The Property was amazing and a hidden surprise was the trampoline which the young children loved. But the best part of this vacation was the communications with the Host Jenn. She took care of us immensely. Would certainly go back there and would wholeheartedly recommend it for a family get together. Plenty of room...

Fabulous relaxing space
Loved the space for the multiple families who stayed together. It's a beautiful relaxing space that has been well thought out. Lots of options inside and outside to socialize, and play together. Amazing to be surrounded by nature. Hosts were prompt on their responses to questions and ensure that their guests are well looked after.
