Our entire guest experience could not have been better! At checkin Karen gave us a thorough tour of the lovely common, recreation and dining areas and escorted us to our spacious room! The attention to all details was outstanding…beautiful decor, 24 hour snacks, delicious food, friendly staff and, of course, the opportunity to interact with the horses and ride. We will definitely return to this outstanding lodging!!

I’ve been fortunate to travel widely staying at many properties. This was an exceptional experience in every respect. No negatives!!!!

Location fantastic. Pasture with horses was very scenic. Game room was great and appeared well-used by guests. Snack-room was great. Dining room excellent. Pool was great.

Facilities around the hotel could have been in better shape - mildewed areas, some rotton wood, etc, barn paddocks were dilapidated, draining water off the hotel roof banged loudly in the plastic porch roof and woke us up, a guest refrigetator failed while we were there. Outdoor furniture very old, some looked broken. Could have more walking trails for non- riders but to be fair this place appears to be mainly for horse riders.

Everything,like paradise, staff, rooms,meals, cats, dogs (and new puppies) and of course the horses were All brilliant. My husband enjoyed his horse ride and we were able to go and feed them with apples and carrots . Very much a homely family feel. We LOVED every minute.

Only one small problem,there are a lot of stairs so a bit Awkward for anyone disabled.

The place is Amazing, peaceful and quiet. Staff was extremely nice, made us feel at home. Room was above expectations, super clean and beds, wow super comfy. We are already planning to go back, but for more day, one night is not enough. We enjoyed using the family room and watched a movie, very cozy. Property is superb and so clean. Woke up in the morning to see the horse from our balcony. Breakfast was 10/10, staff did an amazing job, delicious food, plenty to choose from

Somehow seperate light in bathroom with the fan, seperate switch next to it. Noisy in the morning. No major disappointment from this property. Highly recommend.

It was a beautiful property, well kept, we rode bikes, the staff was very accommodating and the food was delicious!

It wasn’t anything that would stop me from going back. However, if I could make a suggestion about the time breakfast is served. I would give a 8am-10am window. It also stated it was ALL inclusive. Breakfast and snacks are what’s included. We don’t eat pork so the chef served turkey for us!

Madison is a cool little town—great place to stop on a long drive home. We were thrilled to find this place to stay. Our bed and linens were first-rate, and we had a balcony overlooking a pasture. The breakfast they served was ample and tasty, and we followed it with a trail ride. This was just the break we needed before getting back on the road.

It was perfect for us.

Peaceful, serene location. The place was as presented. The food was very good. Horseback riding was quite affordable.

Ran out of bicycles -- none available when we went to ride. Bathroom light could not be turned on without also turning on very loud exhaust fan.
