Benefits, I suppose depends on what you are looking for. If it is quiet comfort this is the place. If you are interested in hunting, yes. Interested in quilting, yes (close to Hamilton, quilting capital). Interested in learning about other cultures, yes (15 minutes away from Jamesport, an Amish Community. Interested in a Church History tour, yes (lots of historic sites within 90 minutes) Interested in nature, yes (Crowder State Park 10 minutes away). But if you just want to hang out here and soak in the hot tub or watch movies or sit on the front porch and watch the squirrels that would be awesome.
