We walked the whole property - from fox creek to the essex river, from the barn to steep hill. Everything was wonderful, from the signature cocktails, the rockers on the porch, the afternoon cookies and the amazing breakfast. The perfect location to unplug, relax, recharge and enjoy the historic crane estate. We will be back...
