Darren was a wonderful host. He made sure to greet us upon our arrival and checked in at various times during our stay. The property is beautiful and a perfect place to relax. Even though it is near the main house, it felt like our own space. We will definitely rebook if we are ever back in the area.

Darren and Laura’s property is beautiful and just as described and shown in the photos. They were very welcoming; Darren gave a tour and made sure we knew how to use the barrel sauna, pool and hot tub. They checked in to be sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again when we are back in the area!
