I chose this place for a reunion/retreat getaway weekend with a college friend and what a great discovery it was! The description and the photos really got me, since I am a sucker for ambiance, theme gardens and hidden sanctuaries. Darrell described the place perfectly, but his words and photos really don't do it justice. It will exceed all expectations you have!

The care, hard work and creativity he put into the entire property is rather overwhelming and hard to fathom. Every place you look is a beautiful vignette filled with the smallest details and surprising touches that make it feel like you are truly in another world, a stunning yet serene one that is magical.

If you wanted to feel transported to an island, come here. If you enjoy the sounds of birds, waterfalls and soft breezes, look no further. The place is fantastic by day and then turns downright enchanting at night. And the cottage was wonderfully decorated, filled with super clean and new or newer amenities and just perfect.

Darrell didn't skimp, at all, on making the cottage feel like he had built it to please the fussiest adventurer with high expectations of quality. The landscaping is sheer paradise, and the entire experience was just fantastic. He is a considerate and generous host who will make sure you have what you need and then some. He knows when to leave you in total privacy, but is great to chat with if you are feeling sociable.

I will absolutely look forward to coming back. My friend felt the same about how amazing the place was, and I overheard her raving about it to another friend on the phone. WELL DONE Darrell!!!
