The absolute peace and beauty is just undeniable outside of the 3 & 6 year old that we brought with us for their first time camping and they almost never listen as it is anyway. However they've been technology free since Sunday without complaint which we love. The trails, bike riding, walking playing in the woods and water has offered a host of things to do. As well they have learned to build a fire after harvesting their own wood, pitch a tent, learned how to wash laundry by hand and hang out dry, cook like Gordon Ramsay over a fire, and the absolute best (and a win for us... sleep without a television!!)
This place has been a joy and we will definitely return as well as recommend to others. Yes, the ticks have been an issue but, it's the woods, it's THEIR HOME, NOT OURS, they belong here, we don't. So, if you decide to come, expect it don't complain, ÝOU are invading THEIR space, bring spray and use it. The squirrels are smart, lock up your stuff, They made off with the majority of a loaf of our bread on the third day. But were quickly forgiven because they're so cute.
Have a great stay!!!
***Last minute edit:
The "fishing" pond... other than some adorable frogs, dragonflies, water skippers, snakes (I'm sure) and rowdy little gray squirrels that "lake" is dead. The actual water smells foul, the odor of death floats up from it with the breeze. A plethora of Water skippers take over with nothing to eat them. Not one single attempt from anything below to eat anything above.
From live bait we provided to food products and lures. Its no wonder each time we went no other human showed up unless they were just riding by..... quickly.
