Thanks for staying with us . FYI out of staters have to start doing a draw for turkeys next year . January to February draw decline
My friends and I booked this place for our yearly hunting trip to the area. Katie and Nick are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and made us feel like family during our stay and the hospitality was top notch. My group will be staying here every year from now on and we’re all ready looking forward to next year!

Thanks a bunch for staying with us . It’s always great to have great guests and make new friends. See you guys next hunting season. Happy hunting !!!
Great area, friendly people, clean and beautiful area. Loved their dog, lots of birds, great yard and house. Loved every moment! Would definitely stay again. The pictures didn’t do it justice. They had everything we needed.
This place was exactly as described. I cannot say enough about Nick and his family’s hospital. They truly went above and beyond to make our trip special. We will be booking this place again next year.

Thanks guys for coming up . Always nice to make new friends. Hope we see you guys next year
Great quiet location. Bedrooms were spacious, kitchen has what you need and living area was nice. Hosts responded quickly. Washer and dryer a huge plus for travelers! Coffee provided! We loved looking at the stars and would use this place again if ever in the area.
My father, son, and 2 small dogs were traveling through the area on our way to Colorado. Nick’s home was the perfect place in the country to get a good night of sleep before our final day of travel. The home was clean and quiet. It was also close enough to town to have a nice dinner. Highly recommend!
