Summary: The setting is serene and spacious with a large private acreage descending to the Colorado River but better described as a wide, moving stream by late July. It's a lovely area for children of all ages as the cows and horses were in a neighbouring field and were curious as to why the five children were mooing at them so came closer to the barb wire fence to investigate. The grounds had an abundance of large flat bottomed swings hanging among flowering trees where children ages 3 to 14 could lie down in pairs and swing easily together at the top of a gentle hill. Croquet was available and worked well for adults playing with their children. Inside board games were a treat for group activities with parents and grandparents.Rental equipment was available from a nearby outlet if one was interested in kayaking. The younger children loved the higher bunk beds with railings to provide security at night and it was a treat to be above older cousins on the lower beds.Access to balconies allowed one to eat outside or to just view the green fields, river and flowering shrubs and trees.Photo be added below...
