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.

Horrible. Do no stay here!! I read the reviews and since it said Spa, I assumed it would be nice. Ended up in 2 different cabins and neither one had a proper shower, the water only DRIBBLES out. You cannot get clean. They need to do more maintenance on cabins as the 1st night, it was windy and a tree branch and cord banged on the roof all not and we got 0 sleep. It kept us up all night. I asked nicely to leave and get refund for 2nd night and they promptly said no. We moved to 2nd cabin and the shower does not spray there either, it just dribbles. This cabin also was noisy at night. There was a rodent or some small animal scratching at wall behind the bed. I cannot make this sh** up.We were closer to the animals on the farm and the roosters and other animals made noises all night. What a nightmare.
