Their home is a true gem that will transport you in time. The attention to detail is incredible. Their recommendations on wineries and other unique places in town to visit were spot on and Marcus was a text or email away at all times. Elins brunch was delicious;perfect way to start our day.

We’ve stayed there several times, in fact we got married there! It’s always in pristine condition. Spa services we used is only the registered massage, but it was excellent too. The staff are unbelievably perfect. The food is exceptional. I would recommend this to anybody! It’s worth a visit to go and see it for yourself. ##### Geoff Stayed 1 night in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janice 23 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A Breathable Escape! We loved staying here. The bed was super comfortable in our room and the breakfasts were delish! The host, Marcus, was very attentive and the house is fantastic. We stayed over in the carriage house but the big house had so many rooms with things to entertain you! A huge wrap around porch and an enclosed gazebo with its own wine cork puller! We really loved the feel and beauty of this place. The view was a bit covered over by fully grown trees, just some peeks through, and those peeks were fabulous, but the landscaping around the house made up for it. So many places to sit and BREATHE! I bet the full view is gorgeous once the leaves fall! OOOH, and I bet the fall up there is gorgeous also! ##### Janice Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary 7 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice property with a personable and helpful host.
