It was relaxing and peaceful being with there, almost like I was one of the family! Located beside a beautiful green river (clean) they (Laney, Evan or Morgan if she is there) will show you the best swimming hole (complete with rope swing) and not only that but they will join you for a swim along with Morgan's ukele and...

It overlooked the... More
