Great little hidden gem!

Great one-night stay! Would have stayed longer but we were on a schedule! The property is beautiful and the farm-like nature add a great charm. Stephanie at reception is a sweet heart and took great care of us. Would highly recommend!

The entire property was so nice with all the animals and such! The breakfast was fine. Some bugs in the cabin but that’s to be expected. A nice quiet space to end our trip to CR at!

Beautifully maintained property, excellent staff and service. Organic herb gardens, small farm with animals. Did not use spa services. Cabin 7 is kinda funky with huge bathtub, requiring a lot of water to fill, and a fireplace that adds ambiance. Kitchen sink with small refrigerator, but no glasses or kitchen towel. Bath towels were thin, and shower spray soaks entire bathroom floor. I would recommend a stay here, but check your cabin layout first. Restraunt and breakfast were great, with great waitstaff.
