Great place to stay. Very quiet and relaxing. We reserved the place for a Indy 500 race weekend but we also spent some time hiking in Morgan Monroe State Forest which is short drive away. We loved sitting on the porch listening to the nature. The house had everything you could want in the kitchen and it was all nice and clean. There are very comfortable beds. We loved also fire pit in front of the house. John was a great very friendly and responsive host.I hope we will be able to stay here again.
