This business hasn’t been open for very long. Walking around the property one could tell how hard people were working to add decorative touches to the landscaping. My husband and I stayed in one of the covered wagons. During the night a strong wind started to blow. The wagon top moved some which I enjoyed. It made me think about the pioneers and what they must have experienced during their travels. I know it was not the same since I was snuggled in a king sized bed with an a/c heating unit beside me. Bathroom/showers are located across the lawn. Simple luxuries I have taken for granted, which this trip reminded me of. We are planning on staying here again next year and we look forward to seeing how the place has improved. Next time though we will rent one of their tents and compare that experience to our great grandfathers civil war journal. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend this very unique and peaceful place. May your travels be filled with joyful adventures
