We arrived for this trip with very high expectations and I would have to say that they were exceeded. When we pulled up the drive we were thrilled. There was more than enough room for our 4 families (8 adults and 11 children). The decor and ambience was warm, inviting and quite relaxing. Any time we contacted Gerry with a question or assistance he was available and responsive. The horses really made the experience all that more special. They were gentle and attentive, clearly comfortable with children. Gerry allowed us to feed them grain, hay, apples and carrots--it was a blast. The kids enjoyed following Gerry, "the real live cowboy" around while he cared for the horses. Tip- Gerry has two rabbits-that if you ask him, and he has the time, he will show them to you. The views were beautiful and the starry nights in the Jacuzzi, with no light pollution, was breath taking. Tip- turn the sauna on right before you hop into the hot tub for a bit and then the sauna will be nice and toasty when you get out. The floor plan and location enabled us to be active or relaxed, social or private when we wanted. Gerry gave us lots of ideas of activities and restaurants--all proved to be wonderful-no travel guidebook needed. The kitchen was very large and enabled us to eat in when we preferred. This property was perfect for our mixed group of children and adults - everyone enjoyed it. We will never forget this very special weekend and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a true retreat experience.
