Place was nice. Beds and couches were very comfortable. The guys liked the manly cabin feel.We relaxed outside and enjoyed watching the birds and the sunshine. There was bad weather and tornado watches/warnings during our stay; the owners let us know where storm shelters were and which news channel to follow. Thank you for worrying about our wellbeing!
