I had such a wonderful time staying at this retreat center! The land is so beautiful, peaceful, and really submerged in nature. The owner, Katie, was so helpful, kind, accommodating, and communicative. The ensuite room was so cozy! I would highly recommend staying here to get away from the burdens of everyday life.
