The Great Rivers, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything was great except that the soap dispensers in the showers were empty which for myself it was a big deal because I brought soap from home but it kinda hindered my guest who swam from being able to shower. Other than that I enjoyed my stay!"

Our 80-Acre Farm, Lake, Nature Trail, Bonfires, Starry Nights 2 Miles Grafton

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time on vacation at this beautiful home and property! Our kids especially loved exploring the walking paths and making beads for the wishing tree—it was definitely a family favorite. Everything about our stay was relaxing and memorable, and we would 100% recommend staying at the Homestead. We can’t wait to come back!"
