Thorn's Mountain retreat is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed and highly worth a visit. The property is stunning, with beautiful views of the Stirling range in the north and bush walks out the back, Thorn Mountain/Mike's place was a perfect place to escape to for some 'off the grid' quality time. Only 40mins north of Albany and right next to Castle rock, it is a wonderful location. There is no phone reception, unless you are with Telstra, but there's nothing wrong with a little time away from your phone. And there's no oven in the kitchen, but there is a good bbq that worked well enough. I highly recommend! Haha.
