Summary: This place is a gem. It was quiet. The views were spectacular. We enjoyed the barn porch hammocks, and listening to the babbling stream that runs through the property. You must hike up the northwest hills to see the view of the valley! The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the hosts were quick to respond to questions.

Summary: This place was amazing. Michael was a fantastic host— easy check-in, recommendations for hikes and food, and was available to answer any of our questions. The cottage is separate from the home and has plenty of privacy. My partner and I had a great time exploring the property. On the property, you can find great places to watch the sunset and enjoy the night stargazing!

Summary: We spent four days and nights on the estate established in 1817 by my G-G Grandparents. It is always surreal to come here and feel the presence of my ancestors. The 'Garden Shed' is very cozy and inviting. The amenities are excellent with all the comforts of home. The surrounding fields and mountains are gorgeous. The gardens and pond are beautiful.. The livestock, donkey and very friendly farm dogs are entertaining.. The hosts are.very welcoming and fun to visit.. We reccomend the Garden Shed, you won't regret it!

Summary: This was our 2nd time staying here and it was just as wonderful as the first! Plenty of quiet time to fish and explore the mountain. Property is visually spectacular and the donkey is very amusing to have morning coffee with, highly recommend for family time and a peaceful getaway. 2nd time there and there are still things we feel like we didn’t get to take advantage of, seems like we’ll have to go back! Love this place!!

Summary: It was in a secluded area, but we 3 girls felt safe, the environment was very welcoming. We loved the decor & the landscape was amazing! We sat outside but bugs didn’t bother us - the moon & stars lit the sky & the sun going down behind the mountains glowed. Wonderful visit!
