Absolute stunner of a find. I thought I was checking into a hotel and it was a full on resort with so many options. Pool, sports areas, meditation walk, cafe, church, restaurant, extras to purchase at the lobby—and I didn’t get a room but to my surprise a full on cabin with front deck and pet friendly. I told EVERYONE I knew about what a jaw dropping find this was. I can’t wait to return. Seems they often book groups, retreats, and weddings with entire areas dedicated to lodging larger parties. Absolutely awesome. You can drive to town, or I did walk there (the uphill return is exercise haha)

The room was awesome and very clean, I love the grounds especially at night with all the lights and enjoyed the fire pit and my patio off my cabin/room. The only thing I will say is that I couldn't get a late check out when I checked in and had to wait to call the day I checked out. I think you should be able to request a late check out if your not sold out or booked for that room which turned out fine and I got the late check out but other than that I had the best time and loved my stay at your facility, it truely was magical. My Neice Desirae got married on Sat and it was so beautiful.
