Cozy home base for our trip

We enjoyed our stay here, it was perfect for our roadtrips out each day. Quiet and clean, and in such a beautiful area! We saw deer strolling up through the yard each day, and wild turkeys one of the mornings. It's secluded but easy access to the main highway. The cottage is well stocked with practically everything you need!
