Darren and Laura’s property is beautiful and just as described and shown in the photos. They were very welcoming; Darren gave a tour and made sure we knew how to use the barrel sauna, pool and hot tub. They checked in to be sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again when we are back in the area!
