The setting was beautiful and it was so great to meet all of the sweet farm animals. The room was lovely, very comfortable, and immaculate.

"Cascade cabin was beautiful and relaxing stay for the three of us. The views are amazing and it's peaceful surroundings were just what we needed to chill and recharge. Floating and drifting around the river on the front step of Cascades beautifully designed abode was ethereal. The cabin contained everything we needed and more. Loved the use of the hammock under the tree with the river flowing past. And the outdoor bath under the mass of stars was awe inspiring. Really comfortable beds. Also had a cute treat of little lambs coming up to us, they were so friendly. Thank you for our stay."
