We have a comfortable lobby, sun room, screen porch, and chairs down by the creek, as well as a full library to borrow from. No phones or television make it a great place to get away from all the cares of the world and truly enjoy yourself. Trails, swimming, rafting, skiing, golf and other activities can be found either on our grounds or a short scenic drive away.
