Looking for a little

Sometimes the best part of your stay isn't on the itinerary.

It's the quiet moments along the trails, the shade of the grand oaks, the wildlife around every corner, and the peaceful beauty that makes you slow down and take it all in.

At Black Prong, nature isn't just the backdrop—it's part of the experience. 🌿🐴

It’s happening! 🙌🐴

Another big milestone for our new covered arena today, concrete was poured for the pier footings!

We’re still on track for completion the end of October, and if everything continues according to schedule, we should start seeing the structure itself going up in approximately two weeks.

After months of planning, there is something VERY exciting about finally watching this happening.

We’ll keep sharing the progress. Who else is ready to see this arena standing?! 🤩
