Amazing property off the beaten track
This was my second time staying at the property in the last few months. The last stay was so great, that I had to return for a second experience. One of the comfiest beds with old school home-made comforter/quilts and Westin-bed level pillows. Super quiet and peaceful and the hosts are wonderful.

The property is beautiful and the accomodations everything you need. I was greeted and treated with great hospitality. Having Lexie and Juno both magnificent golden retrievers co-host made my stay perfect. Buddy and Buttons the miniature horses are adorable and very friendly.
