We had a great experience. The staff was great and very friendly. The trail was very beautiful and so peaceful. Me and my family enjoyed a lot and we can't wait to go there again. Two and a half drive was totally worth it.

We had great fun here horse riding, actually so much so that we came back the very next day.. Hercules Andy, Tula and Digger are great to ride..We also got to see the twin new born. The manager Imogen and her staff are super nice, patient and friendly.. we certainly will come back (by then she probably will have accommodations by the look of it)..
