Like staying at an English Country manor, which it was once. Working farm with sheep, horses and cows. Beautiful views. Martha was very helpful and flexible with a couple scheduling problems we brought to her with our schedule change.

Such a beautiful area, just like the pictures online. Martha met us when we arrived and showed us several things. She was very responsive in communicating with us and We really enjoyed having our own personal rooms and bathrooms for two couples!
Sheep right outside the front door! It was great!!

This was a wonderful property. One of the best we can recall particularly for the price. Usually the photos are misleading in the case it was the opposite. It’s a wonderful open property with horses and sheep and rabbit on a beautiful tree lined driveway entrance.Martha was very gracious and were very grateful we had the opportunity to stay there.
