What makes us different from everyone else? We are off the electricity grid and rely solely on our own
commercial grade generator. At night, enjoy friendly conversations by the light of Kerosene lanterns in
front of our beautiful 15 foot stone fireplace, then escape to your private room for a peaceful nights sleep.
