In the area for my daughter’s wedding. Once she saw the property she wondered why didn’t she get married here. The property is exactly what you see in the pictures. The owners were responsive, considerate and very respectful. My wife, daughter and grandkids gave me the hero treatment for choosing such a perfect place to stay.
Dili and Pete were phenomenal hosts from start to finish. Check-in was a breeze—everything was explained clearly and in great detail, and we were able to access the property without any issues.The property itself is absolutely breathtaking. From the tree-lined drive draped in Spanish moss to the beautiful pastures, horses, cattle, and the home itself, everything was stunning. The house is extremely well-equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay.We stayed with a large group of family and friends, and the home was perfectly set up for big group dinners and gatherings. The kids had an amazing time in the pool and hot tub, rode bikes for hours, and loved the playground area. The adults enjoyed relaxing in the outdoor seating areas—whether poolside during the day or around the fire pit in the evenings.We were in town for a motocross race, and the owners were kind enough to let our kids who race test out their private track, which was such a special experience. Dili and Pete also provided excellent restaurant recommendations, were quick to help with any questions, and truly went above and beyond as hosts.An incredible property with equally incredible hosts. We can’t recommend this place enough.
