Wunderbar, nur leider viel zu kurz.

9.0

Die gesamte Anlage ist beeindruckend und sehr gepflegt, der Ausblick auf die Berge war wunderschön. Der Besitzer des Retreat war sehr freundlich und hat mit uns eine kurze Tour auf dem Anwesen gemacht.

Wir hätten auf jeden Fall für einen längeren Zeitraum buchen sollen :-) (Man sollte keine Angst vor Tieren haben, Schlangen, Spinnen und co. können einem über den Weg laufen)

The best place to relax and enjoy nature

10.0

This was the most amazing experience we have had so far! Chris is an exceptional host who showed us around his entire property. The house was beautifully decorated and the horses were stunning and came over for strokes. As we hadn't planned to bring any food, it was really kind of Chris to provide us with meals for a small fee — they were delicious! We also enjoyed the wood-fired hot tub at sunset. Chris's staff are extremely friendly, and I would particularly like to thank the housekeeper.

I wish I stayed longer

Lovely place, lovely house and welcoming host

10.0

Wow, what an amazing place. Everything about our stay was great, starting with the location, to the house and our host Chris. I probably could write a letter about what was so fantastic about it, but I think no one will read such a long review, so I‘m gonna keep it short: It‘s amazing! If you have time and you‘re around, then go there. Book more than 2 days (like we did and it should have been - Chris told uns he hears that a lot haha) and bring your friends because there is enough space for a lot of people. We definitely will be back there in the future and we‘re already looking forward to it! Thank you Chris for being a great host and see you!
