Peace and tranquility
My son and I had a wonderful weekend. We had the sound bath and tea party. Both were relaxing and we both left feeling rejuvenated.
The accommodations were spotlessly clean and comfortable. The beds were really comfortable.
We will definitely return again. I t would like to try the sweat lodge next time.
