My husband and I as well as my parents stayed here the weekend before Christmas as a short getaway to enjoy the wineries. We had a wonderful stay. Proprietors Tom and Cheryl couldn't have been more welcoming and they have created such a peaceful retreat. The place was beautifully decorated for the holidays and since we were the only two couples staying at the property during this timeframe, we had the place to ourselves!
Tom and Cheryl make a spectacular breakfast and tend to every detail, right down to the heated mugs and plates! Piping hot coffee was ready for us when we got up in the mornings, and breakfast was so hearty we didn't even need to eat again until dinner time! Tom and Cheryl joined us for breakfast both mornings and it was almost as though we were reunited with long-lost relatives for a holiday celebration.
Tom was kind enough to build us a fire both evenings we were there and it was a perfect way to cap off each day. The views surrounding the property are gorgeous and there are plenty of places in the front and back to enjoy sunsets and sunrises. We look forward to returning again, and plan to do so during warmer weather when we can enjoy the courtyard outside!

The property has four rooms so it is ideal if you want to have a family gathering or a group of friends for a getaway. Tom and Cheryl offer a two-night special that includes a catered dinner and wine tour if you have 6-8 guests. Regardless of whether you come with a group, a romantic weekend for two, or even solo, I highly recommend this property!
Here is more helpful information about the place...
Getting there
When driving to the property, make sure to come in via Hwy 83 instead of 82, which Google directs. If you come in via 83, it is a much smoother, shorter drive into the property. Swanson Road is a dirt road, but is well maintained off of 83.
Wifi and TV
This is the perfect place to disconnect and forget about technology for awhile. However, there is Wifi in the main house. It does reach to the rooms, albeit not a super strong signal. There are no TVs in the room, so use this as an excuse to enjoy the many books and games that are offered in the main room.
Rooms
There is one room with a king bed and the other three have queen beds. And one of the queen rooms has a fireplace. The rooms are beautifully appointed and the sheets on the bed were incredible. I loved the skylight in the bathroom, which made it bright and airy. Rooms open to a large courtyard, and the opposite side of the rooms face East, perfect if you are an early riser and want to watch the sun rise. Cheryl has a friend that makes a nice goat's milk soap, which is provided in the bathrooms. Bring your own shampoo/conditioner. But, there is a hair dryer.
Other Amenities
There is a small refrigerator and microwave available for guests to use in the main part of the house.More
