Scenery is amazing, cottage was better than it looked on the site. Spa was awesome, needed more firewood cause we went through it all and the horse came right up to our door on the last day to greet us which we were stoked about. Needed more apples though, the boy can eat!! Would recommend to anyone and already have. Thanks again, Corey and Yvette ##### Corey B. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vin D.
