Last minute vacation, anyone?

We’ve just had a cancellation for the forget-me-not Cottage. It is available tonight or tomorrow night for a two night stay. If we rebook the cottage, we will refund the people who had a family emergency. Any takers?

It shows booked for this weekend, so book direct with Bobbie Zakary.

Love this!
Also, there’s a lovely fresh produce stand just up the road from us, making it easy to grab yummy veggies to prepare for dinner or throw on the grill!

We have a 100’ x 80’ area of our pond we need dug out to enlarge, and a 300’ x 60’ area we need graded and sloped.

Does anyone know someone who does that type of work?
