Perfect place

Great place for a single person or a couple. Fresh eggs from the farm awaited my son and I. We needed a place just to lay our heads for two nights. This place is perfect. We stayed gone fishing most of the time. It was truly nice to come back to this place after a long day of fishing. The owners are outstanding and very accommodating. Thank you Bill and Jana
