  • Sarah

    From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beautiful decor and cozy atmosphere. The host was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The space itself was exceptionally comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. And getting to meet and feed Lily the horse was a delightful bonus! This is definitely a place we'll be returning to in the future. Highly recommended!
