The entire property is natural and soulful and we had so much fun exploring. Host was lovely. The only part we didn’t enjoy was the water pressure in the showers. Everything else was awesome :)

Quiet with a few quirks

There were a few inconveniences during our stay (broken blender & hood fan, neighbor's dog wandering the property, etc.). But overall this property is what it is advertised as. A quiet, secluded place to rest and relax away from everyday life

It can be a better place with some changes

- House is full of dust - All beds are making lots of noise - No oven and blender - All kitchen equipment are old - The hot water comes only in one place, if you turn on in another place it doesn’t work - 3 kids and an adult have rashes after the trip, not sure what is the reason Sorry for sharing our experience, but please take it in a good way, this may help your business. As the localtion and the surrounding is awesome

I disagree with many accusations in this review. There certainly is an oven in the house and also a toaster oven. If you had sent a message about wanting to use a blender, one would have been provided. There are 16 beds in the house, I don’t think all of the beds are making noise unless the kids were jumping on them. The appliances in the house might be older and they all work. My cleaner checked all of the bathrooms and kitchen for hot water and they all have it. Maybe someone took an inordinately long shower and it ran out for a short while. We definitely have poison ivy on the property so the rashes could have been from that. We are in the country.

Our stay

Renting the house I did not realize it was a spiritual retreat, it just was large enough to meet our needs and the price was right. Once we arrived and realized it was more than we could have asked for. It was absolutely amazing. We felt renewed and energized upon our leaving. Ellen was quick to respond before our arrival with any and all questions. Can't wait hopefully come back next year!

Great get away.

Ellen's property is wonderful. Our family really enjoyed all of the property. The fire pit area is a great place to hang out and the trails around the property were great for taking the dog out. The location is perfect. Close to a few small towns including Gold Hill, which is a must see, with shops and things to see and do. The zoo is just over 30 minutes away. We would recommend.

McCarter Wedding Weekend

This place was exactly what we needed for our wedding party to stay at since they were all traveling from different states. I love the fact we had a place to sit down and relax at the fire pit so we all could catch up.
