What our guests say
4.9 / 5 average rating from 300+ guest reviews on Google and Tripadvisor
“We came for one night and stayed three. The Hayloft Suite was spotless and quiet, breakfast came from the hens our daughter fed that morning, and Maggie had a walk planned for every afternoon.”
“The Creek Cabin was exactly what we needed: a wood stove, the brook outside the window and no signal. We read four books, walked to Pine Ridge every day and slept like children.”
“Maggie made 28 of us feel at home, from the baby to my grandmother. The rooms, the cabins, the barn games and the 90th birthday supper are memories our family will keep forever.”
