United States21 Reviews“Would definitely visit again. Appreciated the hospitality of this family run educational center with lovely accommodatio”There are really no cons but we learned a few lessons: To arrive to this secluded retreat is a bit of a driving challenge. Google maps seems to have a sense of humor! There are multiple winding roads to drive and some narrow lanes. I recommend you stick to major roads as much as possible if you don’t like to have to reverse directions when Google brings you your a cattle gate and says proceed!!!!But overall the roads very manageable. Obviously this is not a negative for the property. The closest restaurants are a 25 to 40 minute drive. We didn’t want to traverse the roads after dark so we went to eat early. Choices were limited. There are some fabulous places to eat but some were closed on Monday and others opened at 8Pm or later. We did find a cafe and had panini’s and chips. The next trip we will be better prepared and bring some items with us. Again this is not a problem of the facility. Just be informed and be prepared.
Traveling with my family. I booked the single bedroom with the shared bath. My mom stayed in the double room with the two beds and my cousins shared the double room with in suite bath. It’s a beautiful and tranquil bee farm with a casual petting area and a perfect get away for relaxing. The drive in from the north was stunning. The mountains are impressive and forest full of surprises from hawks to foxes. The house is isolated from the outside world. The nighttime silence was memorable. The facility is an educational experience and also an ideal place to unplug and recharge your mind and body. Don’t hesitate book it and enjoy.

United States21 Reviews“Relaxing, tranquil piece of paradise worth exploring for education or simply relaxation.”The only slightly negative is the distance to food. The closest restaurants are 25 to 30 minutes away. BUT It’s also a plus — as this tells you of the secluded nature of the facility. My suggestion, if you don’t want to drive the winding roads at night, is to pack some items as there is a snack size refrigerator in the sleeping unit along with a table and chairs for eating or playing cards. Really if you are prepared this is not truly a negative.
This family run, special place is 75% self sustaining. With Solar and water collection systems etc. It’s a must experience for families especially with children. There is a resident donkey named Nestor and sheep, chickens and dogs and cats. But most importantly the family running it are genuine and caring. To top off everything, it’s is a thriving Bee farm. Don’t be concerned the Bees are a ways away from the residence where you will stay in fantastic accommodations. It’s a 3 bedroom structure with a double room with on suite bath, a twin room and then a double room with two twin beds. The second two rooms share a lovely bath. Both baths have showers. The double room also has a crib for babies! They have thought of everything!!!! We traveled as 4 adults and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will return to this tranquil paradise. They are educating the public on the importance of self sufficiency and caring for our planet home. Reserve the homemade breakfast consisting of their products in advance. You won’t be disappointed. Purchase their honey and homemade candles. Price for the stay and their items are very economical for what you receive. They understand the true meaning of hospitality. We felt like family! Next visit we will also explore their other business dedicated to relaxing and improving your health.
