“We'll Be Staying Again”

"First time visiting although I’ve lived fairly close my whole life. Pettecote Junction is fantastic. Lots of creature comforts and amenities. The kids enjoyed the play areas and the access to both Pine creek and the Rail Trail was great. Lots of things to do or to do nothing at all while staying here!"
