The pond is very nice, but the place was closer to the road than we presumed. Communication with host was good.

A sweet spot!
We loved this sweet spot right next to a pond and the changing fall foliage. Moe was a great host and a very responsive communicator. Our dog loved sitting out along the water and we loved the view and the chiminea. There was some slight road noise from the nearby highway, but it never really bothered us. We would definitely stay here again.

Hi Moe and Mark, We loved meeting you both and staying on your land. We enjoyed the view of the water and using the chimnea. It was great using your place as a base to explore the area. Hope to see you again. Dave and Janet Conrad

Beautiful Pond and Space
This spot was beautiful with a pond and loud water feature. We arrived at night but still managed to set up with all the bugs and rain and whatnot (watch out for frogs!). I would recommend but maybe more for the spring or fall. There were a lot of bugs because of the pond and humidity. And watch out for goose poop. Overall gorgeous and the hosts were very accommodating and kind.
