The place was straight out of a Hallmark Movie- Beautifully decorated, clean and enjoyable. The weather was beautiful, we were able to leave the screen door open, sit on the front porch, walk to the creek, and walk to the chicken coup. The Chicken Coup and the chickens are a wonderful addition to an already cool place. We loved to hear and watch the trains coming by the house. Juli was the best hostess. She was the best. She helped to answer our questions about the area. She also made time for my kids to meet and give the chickens special treats. She was so patient and kind with my kids . We didn't want to leave and already want to come back!
