We enjoyed a beautiful day walking the trails, touring the grounds, all while also seeing a book gathering of local authors! The kids playground was a highly for our kiddos!

One of the nicest place for a day trip. A small farm house, may be you have seen that many times in your dreams but never expected it to exist in real world. Not very exciting, yet very close to heart- beautiful! The late January winter evening: an unplanned respite, a cup of tea was the only missing thing to enjoy the mysterious evening.

Amazing. Down to earth and nature. Historic with a wonderful and friendly tour. You can walk the grounds on your own but house tours are only at certain times with guide so check web site before going.

A bit off the beaten path. But if you are a fan of the author and poet Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings or remember the book/movie “The Yearling”, then this is a must see. $3/person for a wonderful tour of her house. Our tour guide, Peggy was excellent. Walk the grounds and see the orange trees, tenant house, chickens, ducks, garden. We loved it!
