Based on previous reviews I arrived with high expectations, and the property, cottage, and Darrell still exceeded my expectations! Even though I was only there for two days I let feeling like I had been on vacation for a week, so peaceful and rejuvinating! No element is overlooked: sights,sounds,smells, so much beauty and charm everywhere. Darrell has created a magical getaway, and he is a wonderful, generous,and thoughtful host. I am so greatful for every moment of this trip: hammock naps, hot tubbing under the moon, nightly fires, magical light "show."waking up surrounded by trees...I could go on and on, but just go see for yourself!
