The Country Home is located in a quite and private part of the property, which was wonderful. We took advantage of the kayaks and lake everyday. It was a lovely way to unwind and relax. We loved it.
Joy was a great host. She was responsive and addressed our questions quickly.

A really nice house outside of Atlantic City we visited to attend several concerts. Ubers we’re easy to get back and forth, and during the days there were nice hikes from the property around a beautiful lake. The house was clean and very comfortable, we’ll definitely go back.
