Beautiful land to hang out at and enjoy time away from real life. I absolutely recommend coming here for some safe time to yourself.
Beautiful and comfortable and real quiet and relaxing.
Good spot, with a reservoir close by. The location was quiet and very calm. I enjoyed how the property was maintained.
They have put a lot of work into the space. Unfortunately, it just didn’t feel safe getting barked at by their off leash dog, the shooting range area, and the junk everywhere. It was a rough vibe.
Beautiful property! Felt so safe at Taylor’s during the busy holiday weekend. Perfect hosts!
