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!

I would have wanted instructions for taking the right route since the GPS sent us through a very scary, windy and steep route.

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.
