“We had such a wonderful experience here for our elopement! The venue was absolutely beautiful and made the perfect setting for such a special day. Everything felt peaceful, intimate, and exactly what we were hoping for. We are so happy we chose this location and will always have such special memories here!”

“Beautiful well maintained space. We had a wonderful visit here. There is a nature walk through the grounds - there are various art sculptures installations along the way and the path leads you to a stream where there is a covered porch area you can sit and listen to the running water. It was so peaceful. They have a retail store that features local artists filled with so many unique items! There are a few galleries/ exhibits and the majority of the pieces were for sale. We enjoyed walking the garden and viewing the three exhibits in the main building. They also offer classes for adults and children. Everyone we met was very friendly and helpful.”

“We had a great experience on the Fern Forrest Trail. Joshua was our guide and was very informative and attentive. The safety video we watched prior to the ride was the most information I’ve ever gotten before a trail ride. I learned a lot. The horses are very well tempered even for a beginner. I took my 10 year old and he had a great time. The people here are very kind and experienced. Great experience and we will come back!”

“My wife and I visited this area to see a local festival in cashiers at this park the park had several nice structures made of wood that were very well done One of the buildings at the entrance had banisters made of natural shaped limbs which gave it a rustic interesting look there was a winding sidewalk in a large circle through the part that had vendors set up on either side and a couple of grassy open areas that had vendors around the edges very nice place”

“Great location. The cottage was nice and clean. The store is cute. My son enjoyed the farm animals and the play area.

The restaurant is an issue. I booked and made reservations. Then they decided they weren't going to be open for dinner after my confirmed reservation. But I had already booked the cottage so that's ridiculous and irresponsible.

Also they have an employee that goes around and I guess tends to the animals. As he's working he's smoking the whole time which is ridiculous. He shouldn't be allowed to smoke on the property at all, but then should at least have the common sense to put it out immediately when he sees a customer.”
