    "This is a generous donation of land, time, and money. The lovely stream lulled all 5 of us to sleep. Unusual design which does not always lend itself to large numbers of people, but kept us dry and happy. We could have added a couple more in a pinch. Siding is ugly, but the owner is trying hard to upgrade. Watch out for ticks and snakes. Thanks Dick."

    "Don't use the water source for consumption, which is the stream out front. It starts at a cow pasture. The mosquitos get pretty bad here in the summer."
