Quick get away

We enjoyed the property. It reminded us of our grandpas house which was all hand-made and wooden. We were able to introduce our kids to Monopoly and had a great time camping out in the giant family room. We took a walk on the properly and the fenced in area to take the dog out was a nice touch
