Sandra was extremely helpful and accessible at all times. The place was incredibly peaceful, welcoming and everything was very clean and well kept. I especially loved how quiet the place was and how sweet and loving the furry creatures (dogs, cats and horses) on the farm were!

The boats are meant for one but there's just enough room for a friend (provided it's a dog).

At first we were worried we weren't going to have enough room, but we worked it all out and Man... This place is awesome. The swing under the tree house was so peaceful. You are completely secluded. NOBODY around. The pizza oven was a huge success with the kids. All around it was a very private place to just relax and forget about the week you had.
