Duck Creek Ranch - Privacy in a Custom Log Home on 400 Acres!

10/10 Excellent
"Duck Creek Ranch had it all!coming from the East Coast, but having family local made it an amazing opportunity to connect together as family. The ranch was equipped with ample supplies as well as everything you needed in the kitchen.Don’t underestimate the 5 1/2 mile dirt road! While it was an easy drive, it did get old as we drove it nearly every day of our visit. The beds were extremely comfortable, the bathrooms were more than luxuriousThe ability to hang out was outstandingIf you love a good story, don’t forget to take a look at the scrapbook detail detailing the build of the ranch, where no detail was left outThe home even has several air-conditioning units in the windows making a perfect balance of cool for those super hot days though not advertised on the site. The nights were cool enough. You could keep windows open as well.Our family event there was spectacular and memorable for sure! Thank you to the owning family! We will return one day again! The only feedback I would offer as a constructive is the storage shed blocks the gorgeous view and has a dark/ light sensitivity that is on while you are in the hot tub Or in the master bedroom. catching the sunrise was the best part of my entire trip!."
