Used by guests in June 2021 and comes highly recommended: "a quirky mini golf course about 25 min away. The hosts were super nice and on Saturdays and Sundays from 11-3, they have lunch catered by the chef at a nearby Inn. There are picnic tables and you can eat by a little babbling brook. The food was near-gourmet quality and certainly better than anything I have eaten in weeks! The course itself was super fun and in a picturesque setting. The owners pride themselves on being 'conveniently located in the middle of nowhere.'"
