We decided just to enjoy the day at the property instead of sightseeing the area. It was incredibly relaxing and I would suggest people at a day to do that. The trains do go by but then you also have some surprises.

Highly recommend this property. Very nice setting with view to pond. Clean. Spacious for the 2 of us. If needed the hosts were available and both very nice and accommodating. The train does run very nearby and I - being a 'noise nut' - was somewhat concerned about this when we did our reservations. A couple times each night were were awakened by the train but both of us were quickly lulled back to sleep by it. Otherwise very quiet.

We were in town one night for a wedding. The place was clean and comfortable, with the added bonus of lots of animals to see!
