“We booked this retreat to detox from the city life and it didn’t disappoint one bit. The house is big and has a very interesting character to it . It feel like you’re outdoor while being indoor because of the design of the house . The surroundings are breathtaking, you’re surrounded by deep wood/forrest with little to no distractions in the area. It’s a perfect place to create lasting memories”

“I needed a break from the city and was glad this was the place I chose. It had more room then i was expecting while still be quaint. I had all the utilities on hand and only needed to buy food in, glad I didn't have to go get a full shop of things I wouldn't use. Nothing beats sitting outside in the morning with breakfast surrounded by nature. Definity going back.”
