Comfortable and very clean motel that was conveniently located on Golden Circle. The kids loved eating ice cream while watching the dairy cows. The hotel staff was very friendly. Annie was a great resource and happily helped us out when needed.

Pleasantly surprised by the property even though its in a remote location!
Was a wonderful stay along the Golden Circle close to other things we wanted to do. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious and the fresh ice cream was a real treat.

This was a great overnight stay on the Golden Circle. Our girls were able to relax and play, which was a nice break after a day of driving. The restaurant had great food with a local menu. We also enjoyed seeing the cows up close and enjoying some ice cream.

What an amazing place to stay. Perfect location, friendly staff, amazing food and comfortable beds. We also went on a horseback ride to a nearby waterfall that was AMAZING. I can't say enough good things about this place. We would return in a heart beat. Oh and they have an amazing trampoline for kids to bounce on.

The cows eating outside the window of the restaurant really gave meaning to the phrase “farm to table”! Staff pleasant but a few lessons on enhancing the guest experience would improve most ratings. Would stay here again.

Lovely room with an amazing view. Due to our flight time changing we arrived after the scheduled check in time but the team (via email in advance and by phone on the day) were extremely friendly and helpful and made arrangements to allow us to arrive late.

Excellent service. Quiet and remote with walking paths and big bounce pad for the kids.
Fresh ice cream was amazing. Restaurant on property had good food but somewhat limited choices. Although food was expensive it was in line with other restaurants in the area.
