We stayed for 4 nights at Lily Cove retreat. Any questions we had were answered and dealt with very quickly. The house is gorgeous, and the property is expansive and beautiful. We had our dog with us and literally everything was provide for her, from blankets to dog beds, treats and a dog wash station. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
