Great Summer get-away

This secluded country location is amazing, and has a wealth of amenities, including an indoor recreation area… and the house had plenty of room for our large family. The expansive pool area and grounds gave us many options to have fun, play games and interact with nature. We loved the large pond for water recreation and it has some great fishing for all ages! Lori and Jack are wonderful hosts, we’re already booked to go back!
