We spent 3 nights while visiting our kids for their college fall weekend. The property itself was quite amazing, very peaceful, quiet. We had our two dogs with us, and they loved walking to the beach and the farm. Udder Heaven was bigger than expected, super clean, charming, and we were happy with our stay and would return. I could see sitting on the deck looking at the land and the Sound on a nice day for hours.

It feels like you go back in time on this property. Old trees, wetlands, fields, dirt roads, and the beach in the background. Everything was blooming. We spent the day on the beach with our nine year old while our older son was at an event. The house is cozy, the porch gets good sun and along with the stunning view you can watch the ospreys fly over head. What a gift!
