Quiet and peaceful horse whisper

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this beautiful and peaceful farm with lots of space to roam and beautiful scenery. Add in the beautiful horses and birds. It was a wonderful experience for all ages. The property is also located. Close to lots of restaurants and shopping , so it was just amazing.

Relaxing days and quiet nights

We had the perfect time. The house is comfortable and the pool is great. The hosts are wonderful and live in a separate suite. We felt like we had the place to ourselves to walk the farm, see the horses and relax. Westminster has a small downtown with good restaurants. We are thrilled we found this gem in the hills.
