This place is magnificent if you want somewhere to get away and enjoy the peace and quiet of the country. One of the very few places I have found that isn't just surrounded by other rentals. This is one of those from back in the day before resorts started tricking you with 30 identical cabins all in a circle. Suzzie was the perfect host. Amazing views,peace and serenity just 15 or so miles from everything you may need during a stay. This is one of the few places I've reserved that I will try to stay again,if in the area. One thing there that I've never seen in person,a 2 hole outhouse. You could hold your sweeties hand while pooping,back in the day!
