Aaron

My wife Jessica & I purchased our lot in November of 2007. Our lot was covered with brush, briars, ivy, a junk camper, and a collapsed awning on the shed. We worked through the winter months clearing the lot. We've thoroughly enjoyed our first years at Indian Acres and look forward to spending many more. Since we've been at IACT we've been active in helping Indian Acres move forward while enjoying our beautiful get away funstead. We currently live in Centreville, Virginia so camp is never far away. We've driven down on weekdays just to get out of the busy hussle and bussle of Northern Virginia.
