| My visit was for a quick break from the hustle and bustle of life stessors. For that purpose this hostile fits the bill. It is in a quiet and relaxing location, and there are some activites which are geared towards relaxation. You have the option of paying for logs to build a fire, there are alot of grounds to walk along, there are(quality) books availble to borrow, there is a payphone that costs fifty cents, the television doesn't have cable however there is a vcr with tapes availe there. The family that runs the hostile are very nice and they have honey for sale there. Overall I would say if your in the area and are looking for a hostile stay there. Bear in mind that this is an old country house but it is very nice and well worth the price paid. I am planning on returning. This Hostile does not accept credit cards in person however you can pay with a credit card if you book in advace on the website. | ||

| The manager gave me a headsup that 50 sixth graders would be staying at this location and I thank her for that. The students were well behaved and polite and did not interfere with our stay on the 14th of June. Manager upgraded our accomodation at no additional cost. We returned within the week to stay once again enroute home. | ||
