We also got a special treat of seeing a bear in the neighbors yard! It was nature at its finest in a very luxurious house. There was even gaming tables to play when it rains. Would definitely go back!
Of course the smores and time around the fire pit was wonderful as well. Looking forward to next year for sure!
The view from the deck was super gorgeous! I loved being able to warm up in the sauna and gathering around the giant dining room table to play games with my friends.
Stayed for a staff retreat. Great relaxing spot where everyone can have the privacy or group gathering that they need!
We really liked the pontoon & kayaks and swimming in the lake! The inside is so adorable too! And central air conditioner and TVs in the bedrooms!
