Not a high traffic area so that made it better. Huge firepit with plenty of room for chairs. Tvs in all rooms. Cameras outside for that extra security. (Some may not like that but we loved knowing they were there) Grocery stores nearby as well as good pizza places. Wilson state park for swimming. If you have toddlers bring plenty to do as there is good space outside for some fun. Saw plenty of deer, chipmunks and turkeys! All in all a wonderful stay with a very responsive host. ##### Kolleen M.
