My spouse and I absolutely loved our visit to Ward Mannor. The hosts were amazing and responsive. The Garden Shed was tidy, well equipped and had comfortable beds. The grounds were beautiful and quiet. The perfect place to relax and restore. Cannot wait to return!
This was one of the most beautiful places I've had the pleasure to stay. The hosts were wonderful and very communicative. After seeing the pictures in the listing I requested to take family pictures on the property and I'm so glad I did because the farm was a perfect backdrop. My kids loved watching the animals, petting the donkey and playing in the waterfall. I hope we can make it back soon.
This is our favorite place to getaway from the hustle and bustle. The fall foliage was showing off this weekend around this beautiful and peaceful cottage.
The renovated Garden Shed at the Manor is wonderful! It has a very comfortable bed, plenty of space, a fully stocked kitchen, and lots of windows for beautiful views. We loved seeing the cows and the donkey everyday, and really enjoyed hiking the mountain. It was a relaxing and refreshing getaway. We highly recommend.
