The hotel is charming and the staff we encountered were helpful and friendly. The night stands were tiny as was the shower but the room was clean and the location was perfect for us to explore the Golden Circle. We enjoyed a delicious meal at the restaurant, followed by yummy ice cream made right there on the farm. Agritourism at its finest!

What an amazing place to stay. Perfect location, friendly staff, amazing food and comfortable beds. We also went on a horseback ride to a nearby waterfall that was AMAZING.

The cows eating outside the window of the restaurant really gave meaning to the phrase “farm to table”! Staff pleasant but a few lessons on enhancing the guest experience would improve most ratings. Would stay here again.
