Route 66 road trip
We booked a cabin here because it got good reviews on Trip Advisor. We were on a Route 66 road trip and we stayed here for one night. We got in when it was dark so we couldn't see our surroundings but the cabin was so cute. It was cabin #1 and there were 4 of them lined up. You walk up onto a little porch, then into a livingroom/kitchen. You come to a little hallway where there is a bathroom and in the back there is a bedroom with a queen size bed in it. Upstairs there is a loft with 2 queen size beds in it with a little door to shut in between if you need privacy. It was very clean and nicely furnished. Our only complaint was that we were so hungry when we got here and there was manual with information in it there and it said that we could have pizza delivered but when we called they said they didn't deliver to the winery. There really weren't any restaurants around so my son and husband went out to a convenience store and picked up some snacks. When we got up in the morning you could see the lake in front of you and there was a horse grazing in a faraway field. It was very picturesque. Besides the lack of pizza delivery, it was a fabulous place that I would definitely recommend.

Fun times
Love having a winery so close to home. They have good wine they make themselves and delicious food like their pizzas. Good music and events. They also have beautiful cabins for travelers to stay overnight.
