The view from the deck is picturesque! We spent hours on the deck drinking wine and enjoying being immersed in nature. We were amazed by all the animals: bald eagles, turkeys, hummingbirds, orioles, hawks, bluebirds, woodpeckers, cardinals and lots of cows that graze through the pasture, etc. The house is extremely clean, well organized and comfortable. The spacious kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals. The Nicholas Sparks DVD collection was also appreciated:) This space is exactly what we needed to get away for a few nights.
