Beautiful place, wonderful pool,, lots of floaties. Play and patio areas nice outside. It did not suit our family of 14 well for sleeping. Bedrooms very small. Windows and window sills dirty

We had our wedding for 75 guests and 12 stayed at the barn for the weekend. Plenty of space for everyone along with providing the close feeling for a family stay! The new building was absolutely perfect for the wedding. Kayla was amazing help with all of it even offering helping hands with the wedding set up/clean up.
