    The property is great. There is a lot of work going on but not in the way. The farm house is cute and the pond was AMAZING! The kids favorite spot was the pond. The oven was dirty and I had to clean it before using it because it kept smoking up. As a family, we are not dog people BUT we fell in love with the two dogs on the property! The only other negative thing was the huge wasps. They were everywhere and kept getting in the house. A couple of us are severely allergic so it did cause some anxiety. I think we killed at least 8 while there as they were bad.
