ce place for a stopover. It’s right next to the state highway so there can be a bit of truck noise at night, though it wasn’t too frequent. Didn’t get a chance to see the farm and that option wasn’t mentioned at check in. Maybe because it was raining. Check out was smooth and friendly, which was a nice way to end the stay.
