Stanton now has an array of restaurants. If you love country cooking visit Bruens Restaurant where you can enjoy the best country food prepared by one of the oldest families in the area. We now have Mexican and Oriental and all of the well known fast food restaurants.
After a day of visiting everything return to the Chop Chestnut Cabins where you are surrounded by beautiful hills and where the only sounds you hear are all the beautiful noises made by the birds the bees and all the animals of the area.
You can grill out dinner or set around the fire and tell about your venture today or soak in the out side hot tub while you watch the moon go down over the hills in front of your cabin.
And remember our cabins offer a cozy home away from home.
