Enjoy activities like tree swing, badminton, horsehoes, and bocce ball in the open fields, or relax in the organic garden filled with herbs and an apple and pear orchard.

Private Trails: Explore 3/4 of a mile of groomed hiking trails with your dogs located directly on the property, leading to enchanting waterfalls where kids can play in the creek.

Alfresco Living: Unwind on the private patio or enjoy dinner in the quiet majesty of a bamboo forest and the mountains. Gather around the fire pit for s’mores and late-night chats under a canopy of fireflies.
