Beautiful estate
Amazing property. Perfect for 16 long time friends celebrating their 70th birthdays. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. As well as large areas where we could all be together! Would definitely recommend.

Didn't want to leave
The property exceeded our expectations. The two guest houses provided plenty of room for family spreading across several generations to visit. The grandchildren loved running through the woods, catching fireflies, etc...

Almost perfect 9.9/10
Wonderful place…if there was any draw back I would say that a few more Queen beds in place of the Fulls would be nice…also the wifi @ the pavilion might need attention - the tv had several episodes where it would stop and load during the movie/ballgame…not that big of a deal just annoying…wifi everywhere else was good…

The house was wonderful! Private , yet close to town. Only drawback was the multiple levels and the steps between rooms was difficult for an old lame fatman . Very roomy and comfortable.

This property is well appointed. The grounds are beautiful and it seems every comfort was considered. Several areas perfect for reading a book. Kitchen is designed for ease in preparing meals with state of the art appliances. The Big Green Egg and pellet smoker was used to full capacity!! The big screen tv in the grill area helped us stay current on the sports. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
