Wow! First i must say! ANDY is the freaking BEST! We love Andy! We had a group of 24 attendees & every single person cried when it was time to leave. The animals, the water, the space was literally AMAZING! We WILL be back! This space is spiritual & magical. I am still in awe! Thank you so much for creating this space for us to heal

We just returned from an unforgettable weekend at this ranch, and I can’t say enough good things about it. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this property was something special. The grounds are expansive, beautifully maintained, and perfect for a large group — we had over 20 people and never once felt cramped. The main house itself is spacious, clean, and full of character. Every room was thoughtfully furnished, with comfortable beds, quality linens, and plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals for a big group, and the indoor and outdoor dining areas made it easy to gather everyone together. The pool. Absolutely stunning — crystal clear and the perfect place to spend the afternoons. Between swimming, grilling, and watching the sunset with a cold drink in hand, it felt like our own private resort. The host was equally fantastic — responsive, friendly, and committed to making sure we had everything we needed.
