Summary: Exceptional Stay & an Amazing HostDeborah is truly an outstanding host, and this place was top-notch in every way. I travel frequently with friends, family, and my beloved furbabies, and for me, the place and environment matter a lot. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home.We booked very last minute and were quite stressed, as we couldn’t secure anything until just a day prior. Deborah kindly accepted our booking and made everything absolutely perfect for us.Our group had different expectations, and this property met them all beautifully. I was looking for a serene, cozy space to relax, reset, and start the new year peacefully. My friends wanted a safe and comfortable environment for game nights and New Year celebrations without worry. My furbabies needed space to run, explore, and stay secure—and this place delivered on every front.Meeting the friendly horses was such a lovely experience, and the surroundings were simply beautiful.There was a small misunderstanding about the pool being open year-round, and Deborah handled it with complete understanding. She went above and beyond by offering sledding for our group of 10, which was incredibly thoughtful. We had an amazing day sledding down multiple hills while our furbabies safely enjoyed the space around us.This is by far one of the best places we have ever booked, and I would absolutely stay here again.Deborah, thank you for being such a wonderful host.
