"Excellent, unique, peaceful experience. My family absolutely loved the property, and it helped make our trip one the kids will always remember. They are already asking to go back. If you're looking for a place to stay away from all the busy tourist sites, with quiet, solitude, and beautiful views, this is your place. Ken is an excellent host who obviously takes great pride in his very special property, which has both family and historical significance. I greatly enjoyed conversation with him. He was kind enough to drive us around the property when we arrived to show us all we could enjoy. It was clear he wanted us to have a great experience...and we did!"
