Great location and great price to stay and tour this side of the island. The goats were fun to watch when we were back at the house. All around would recommend this place.

Clean and modern with comfy beds, lots of towels and bedding. Kitchen was well appointed and worked well for our simple meals. Liked the tourist information provided for finding good hikes and beaches. Good reception. Thanks to our hosts!

Our stay on Mark and Marie's property was nothing short of magical. 4 nights didn't seem like enough - we didn't want to leave! Our almost-4 year old had the time of his life with all the animals and we really connected with all of them - especially the chickens! Our time here in nature was so deeply healing. Can't wait to come back! A few things of our own that we brought from home that elevated our experience was a small tower fan, a "mud kitchen kit" for our son to play with outside and a dark blackout curtain for naptime. There were WAY more games and activities than we had expected. All the yard games were a delightful surprise! Please say hi to my favourite hen, Vanessa, for me!
6 / 10Average·May 2026
Lower rating because of: noisy highway, no screens on windows, dirty chairs and table on the deck, tub needed to be washed for a bath and the stopper not working, dirty aluminun saucers on the stove. Basically a cozy place that needs some TLC.
