Cozy above garage loft. Quiet with a beautiful country view. Our hosts Dan & Reta were wonderful and as Dan & Rita guests we had something in common. We had a good laugh about both being from Boone County in our respective states as well. Friendly folks, wonderful area; we had a good time. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The unit was well maintained and clean. We enjoyed eating on the deck just outside the kitchen, hearing and watching the birds. The hosts live onsite and were very friendly but not intrusive. We would definitely stay here again!

If you are looking for a quiet country setting close to Union and Florence, you will not be disappointed. If you enjoy the sounds of nature and all the conveniences of home, you will find it here.
