Did what it needed to do
We picked this spot as a mental reset for a couple of first responders, and a super busy kid. For that it was perfect. Phone only kinda worked, and that’s a good thing for me. Turkeys were fun to talk to. Close enough to town for a quick run if needed, but far enough out to feel secluded. The stars are amazing out there. Getting buzzed by fighter jets was an unexpected thrill. All good stuff. Some things weren’t quite what we were expecting. Downstairs looked like a fresh remodel. Upstairs felt like deer camp. Stuff like an outdoor security light wired in on the stairs wasn’t what we expected. The one frying pan and baking pan were pretty wore out. We bought a new frying pan and left it there. Both BBQ pits could use new grates. I planned on cooking ribs, but didn’t want to fight the rust. The home built one was impressive though. The fishing was good. We all caught something, including a rod and reel from the pond. We left it on the porch for future guests. I wish the dock was where it is in all the pictures online. Seems to be a big marketing point for it not be useable. All in all we enjoyed our stay. Thank you for having us.
