It was deafeningly quiet, with tall trees and the most relaxing environment. The hosts were very kind and though we did not get a chance to visit the farm, we will be back. Everyone had their own room which was huge. The only negative I can say were the spiders which is truly to be expected in the middle of the woods. Highly recommend this property!! ##### Sari A.
