A horse lovers dream! With over 400 acres to roam, it's hard not to find something beautiful here. The staff is very friendly and fun to talk with. The gathering areas are chock full of activities and things to look at it. Nearly any window you look out you'll see a horse! The animals, and there are many besides horses, are super friendly and lovable. We loved playing with all the animals here. We will definitely be back!

The horses is why I went and was not disappointed. We were unable to ride but it was due to the weather. Breakfast was delicious and a lot of fun activities if it hadn’t rained the whole time.

This place was so beautiful, quiet, and amazing!!! I have a horse allergy and no interest in horses so I almost didn’t book but options were running low and I took a risk and I’m so glad I did!! It was so EXTREMELY clean and I could’ve easily stayed for a week and had so much fun in such a calming environment. I can’t wait to come back with my kids and stay longer to truly enjoy how put together the inn was!

The property was absolutely beautiful and the accommodations were great! The room was spacious and the pool area was very inviting! The dinner buffet was filled with many delicious options to choose from and was very convenient. I would suggest a vent for the bathroom and possibly a mini fridge in each room. I would definitely love to return with my daughter and her friend for another stay.
