Summary: Thank you for opening your property to us. It was the perfect location for our chapter FFA officers to bond, develop leadership skills and plan activities for the upcoming year. There were plenty of bedrooms, beds and bathrooms for our large group. We enjoyed the beautiful gardens, peaceful location and overall relaxing atmosphere. The artwork throughout the house was an absolute delight. So many beautiful and interesting pieces. Thank you again. Hoping to return in the future.
