    We stayed at the Simmons estate with a large group of family. The central area (kitchen and dining room) was amazing! The kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed to have our Turkey dinner! (Canadian Thansgiving). The video game machines were so much fun for the kids. We all had enough space. I hope that the owners plan to spruce up the outdoor space and add some comfy seating. The woods area behind the house was so much fun for the kids to explore. They built a fort.

    Our family and friends enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and the space made it easy for multiple groups to have different activities. We enjoyed the disk golf and making smores on the fire pit. We even had some deer in backyard at night.

    We (13 senior adults - church group) were very pleased with the property overall. We were disappointed that the 4 twin beds listed on the site were 3 roll-away cots. Due to this some of the female guests had to share beds. Also my room was missing pillow cases and we were short a few towels. The extra towels and linens were delivered promptly.
