Serene Retreat

Simultaneously luxurious and rustic, Marion's little equine corner of the world is singular. The suite is well appointed and the ever changing pond view through the wall of windows would be difficult to tire of. A walk around the grounds to see the wide variety of avian life is recommended. Marion invited us to a meet and greet with four of her pretty horses and it was a swell party.

Beautiful and peaceful property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Marion. The property is beautiful with window views to the trees and pond and to the amazing stars at night. The chairs and bed allowed such spectacular views of the stars and the property. We really enjoyed talking with Marion and sharing our joint love of nature.

Anniversary Getaway

Marion is a wonderful host. This place was exactly what we needed to have a quiet weekend away from our hectic lives. Sitting and watching the birds was very peaceful and the soaking tub is exquisite.

Transformational Idyllic refuge from the quotidian

Marion is blessed with a phenomenal piece of property and keeps the place sparkling clean! She is a kind, thoughtful, considerate and generous host! Charlie (the cat) and Marion facilitate the most amazing getaway if you love nature, and the horses are warm and affectionate too. This is a very special place we look forward to returning to again to admire the seasonal change.

Awesome getaway!!

My girlfriend and I just spent this weekend here, can’t say enough good about it. Marion is a wonderful person and is a fantastic hostess who makes you feel right at home. The property is very private, quiet, and peaceful. The room is very nice, comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom (huge bathtub), lots of windows to enjoy the scenery. Marion brought us jars of sweet tasting well water, a nice breakfast and coffee each morning, and even sent me home with some catnip for the cat. Got to visit and pet the horses. If you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful retreat, this is your place! You won’t want to leave
