What Wonderful Home away from home

What a gem! Such a beautiful stay with my girls at such a safe, home away from home in the woods. Host was very helpful and welcoming. And for a single mom with 2 rambuncious girls, this was the perfect match!

Beautiful place. Thought it would have been more secluded with trees all around from the pictures but was still nice. Grass was quite long.
