This was one of the most wonderful places I've ever stayed! The staff was fabulous! The room was gorgeous and beautifully decorated! Very country chic if you will! Little touches like a tray with flowers on the bed and snacks on the counter, made it so welcoming!! Love the his and hers touches! Even the porch had a nice place to sit!Our plans were to use the hot tub, but we didn't get the chance. We saw others enjoying it! This place has it all! A little tavern, a store, a restaurant, pool and hot tub on site, animal experiences, and even an outdoor chapel where church services are held on Sunday! Every time we turned around there was something new and exciting to see! Please don't miss your chance to visit this lovely property! We will be back!

We had the absolute best time. We participated in the Sunday brunch and animal experience. Prior to the brunch, we attended the outdoor chapel service. Pastor Nelson gave a wonderful message.The animal experience was beyond what we could have imagined. Being able to spend time with each of the animals created memories that we will never forget.We stayed in the Tranquility cabin for one night and loved it. It was beautifully decorated, comfortable, and so peaceful.

Loved everything about the place. Great room. Amazing interactions with animals. Fun hikes. The only reason we’re giving 4 instead of 5 stars as I felt there was always employees working and being all over the place until after midnight when we could truly explore and felt like we weren’t being followed and watched constantly.
