The vegetarian meals were excellent! The peace and quiet of the property was very restful and relaxing and we had the hot tub all to ourselves. The view from our personal balcony was beautiful, we saw deer walking through the property and a host of other little critters we found fascinating. We loved it so much, we booked another stay for August.

This is an absolute gem. The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming, making you feel instantly relaxed. This is not a luxury property but they’ve done an excellent job focusing on the things that count to deliver a great, peaceful experience. Bed was comfy, grounds and view were lovely and breakfast was good. My friend enjoyed her massage, ranking it toward one of the best she’s had. It was a great experience and I would return.
