Our stay at Rock Ridge was a perfect family getaway. Both the location and the property are beautiful! The grounds are well-maintained and extensive and we enjoyed the occasional glimpses of local wildlife such as beavers, hawks, and migrating birds. We spent each evening of our stay stargazing on the large front balcony on the comfortable deck chairs. The location is convenient to Giant City and Fern Clyffe as well as local wineries. We are already looking for an opportunity to come back!
