Verified reviewgood

The venue was peaceful and quiet. But bring insect repellant to keep big spiders and mosquitos away. Cellphone reception is available via free wifi from the venue. The venue is pet friendly but there are 6 dogs on the premises so take care that your pets stay out of reach of the owners's dogs.
