Thank you so much Hannah & Tanner for helping us have a wonderful and successful horseback riding experience. We truly enjoyed and loved the entire experience. From grooming/brushing and bonding with your particular horse, to trail riding with the horses. It was very relaxing, relieving much unnecessary stress, and brought in much needed peace! Raven is such a love. Also, Fancy and Rebel! Lots of beauty and fun!!! Lovely owners, beautiful horses and a stunning property to boot! Afterwards we went on over to the Watershed and met Sherry (such a sweetheart) and got to enjoy the BEST root beers. Thanks again! DeAnne, Brian & Curtis

Was here for a friend's wedding. The venue is gorgeous. The views are beautiful and it was so…read morelovely to be able to see the stars underneath the starlight. Appreciated that there were some heat lamps available during the evening. I will say that there was a lot of confusion randomly throughout the day that seemed to be an issue with communication. After the wedding the couple wanted to have an after party with some of the guests and had some extra food sent to the main house. I was staying in the meadow house and preparing to get ready for bed, when someone came in saying that the after party was at our house. Apparently there was no communication about not allowing food in the main house, which is understandable; however, folks staying in the house were unaware and it was frustrating to hear that the maid of honor was told to gather the food from the main house herself to the meadow house (which is a steep hike in heels, in the dark, after a long day of participating in the wedding). Thankfully the groom came with a golf cart to help her. It just seemed like pretty poor communication and lack of support, which is highly unfortunate. Adjustments could have been made in advance had folks from the wedding been notified. Guests had fun regardless and those of us who were in the wedding party really appreciated being able to stay on property. The amenities were nice (shower essentials, robes, kitchen essentials, hair dryer, steamer, etc) and we liked being able to stay in property. It provided for a lot of great photo ops. It's such a beautiful venue I'll give it 3 stars, but communication could certainly be improved.

We said we were looking for the tasting room from the signs and he started flipping out screaming that we better get out of here, and we had no business there. We quickly got out of there because the guy seemed seriously unhinged. Not sure how they are for wedding receptions but i wouldn't go near there without arranging things ahead of time and having a sheriff escort you there with copies of your correspondence just to be safe. Ps if the owner sees this review please just put up another sign by the main one saying appointment only or something. It only costs about 15 bucks in supplies and would maybe save a life.

Had the best kiwi margarita ever and we ordered cheeseburgers which were super good too! It felt super special to be there, especially with how chaotic outside was.

We were greeted by "Whiskey" the cat and as we were told apparently he was a stray and greets everyone as they arrive which was cute. They have misters which helped a lot with the heat.

The view is stunning and beautiful view, atmosphere is very relaxing. Wine choices we were excellent, Excellent wine, especially the whiskey barrel wines!

The Staff and owners were very nice, as we were having good time Scott the owner took the kids, around 10 of them to a short hike and showed them around the property and vineyard, kids had good time while adults were drinking up. Meanwhile Kristy engaged the smaller kids. It was all fun and everyone had fun. Special kudos to the lovely bartenders. If you are looking for great wines, amazing views, comfortable atmosphere, great staff, kid friendly, pet friendly, this is the place. We are going back soon

I want to start this review by saying a huge thank-you to Nurtured by Nature for creating such an…read moreincredible experience and allowing me to fulfill a 10+ year dream of interacting closely and even "swimming" with otters. This was an early birthday gift to myself, and honestly, nothing could have been more meaningful. Our group was led by the founder, Wendy, along with another amazing educator whose name I regretfully don't remember. Both were absolutely wonderful, you could feel how much they care for and understand each animal through the knowledge, enthusiasm, and respect they shared with us. The groups are small, maxing out at eight people, which makes the experience feel personal and intimate. Before the otter swim, we met about seven other animals, including a sloth, capybaras, fennec foxes, ring-tailed lemurs, and more. We were even able to feed, pet, and interact up close with many of them, which made the tour around the property both educational and heartwarming. And then of course, the highlight of the day: the Otter Swim. We got to spend time in the water with three playful otters, and I can now officially say I've petted an otter (flat hand, of course)! They had no concept of personal space, swimming all around us, climbing on our arms, and using us as launch pads back into the water. Watching them play and interact up close was beyond adorable. It was truly a 10/10 (or more like 1,000,000/10) experience, and I would--and hopefully will be back again someday. Parking: They have a decently sized lot available Bathrooms: Both port-o-potties out front, and 2 proper restrooms within the facility
