Our guide Chad was an amazing person. It was a beautiful day for a carriage ride through the forest. Chad told my husband and I stories as we traveled along the trails. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday.

Seeing nature front and center, Chad the operator provided history of Cone Manor and the estate I had never heard even in visits to Cone Manor. The carriage ride is rewarding & highly recommended.

Chad was outstanding as the owner/driver/narrator with great knowledge of the Cone Estate. He was informative and had a great personality to match his local wit...I would recommend this activity especially in the Fall with the leaves all changing. About a two hour trip.
