Friends visit
Our stay was wonderful. It was a lovely home away from home and four of us adults had plenty of room and space to enjoy. It was easy to get to starve rock and get into several of the little towns and the museums! We especially enjoyed Star Union Spirits distillery, live music and great tour!
