10/10 Excellent
"Had a wonderful time! The place was top shelf, everything beautifully landscaped, the aromas from the various plants, could not get enough of. The cottages were amazing. The detail, cleanliness, and hospitality was well worth the drive there from the foothills. Shout out to the office manager Jacob and his staff. They were extremely knowledgeable and assisted us in navigating our way around town, well done! Definitely will be going back, appreciate you!"
