And the 400 acre VanBuren State park is just 12 miles away and features beautiful waterfront sand dunes.
COOKING & DINING: For family meals the dining room and connected kitchen island offers enough table space for all to dine together, both indoors and on the outdoor deck. When you cook, the large Main House kitchen has a double stove top, two ovens, two sinks, two dishwashers and two refrigerators providing you with more than enough room for the family to cook and bake together.
