Brian and Chris were great hosts. The spot was level and we had a lot of room. Chris had a whole book of things to see and do in the area which was very helpful. Chris has many homemade and farm fresh items. The area is very beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. Would defiantly stay again.

We arrived after a long drive and were happy to have a place to stretch out and sleep for the night. We loved the cool nights and fire fly watching. The hosts were gracious.
