A quiet place to relax, in the middle of the vegetation. Sleeping with the campfire and the sound of the rain was magical. I highly recommend this place, and go with your partner, definitely a 10 out of 10

Nice Stay
The location was nice and we enjoyed the small farm. The staff was very kind and helpful. The accommodations were rustic but fine with us. We enjoyed the outside seating area. We would have liked to have hot water in the shower and the kitchen is pretty minimal. Small things like a cork screw & bottle opener would be nice. Breakfast was very good and we also enjoyed a nice dinner at the restaurant.

A short drive from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the heat and humidity at the coast, this is a fabulous forest retreat. The cabins are delightful, private, well appointed with comfortable beds and spa like amenities. Bonus if you like farm animals. The staff on the grounds, office, spa, and restaurant were all kind, talented and helpful.

Worst Hotel Ever
We spent just one night but it was really bad. No AC, the water was not heated, you are at a farm and since you don't AC you hear all the animals all night. The place it's dirty and similar to the rooms.

Loved the fireplace and the wood.
Great room with a wood-burning fireplace with plenty of wood! Only issue was the hot water and flow for the bathtub. The shower worked well though. Quick trip to airport the next morning but MUST make sure to let reception know that you need to leave early or before opening because they locked the property gate.

We had no hot water for showering or shaving. Nobody was at the front desk at Check-out, so no one to complain to. The restaurant and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was good. Really would have liked to taken even a warm shower.
