More than a place to sleep
Your time in the valley.
Come for the waterfalls, the golf or the long country drives. Stay for the small moments in between: the ridge in the morning, a meal together after a day out, and the sense that there is nowhere else you need to be.
Arrive and exhale

Open the doors from the larger upstairs bedroom onto the balcony. Watch the light move across the fields, with neighboring cattle visible on the far side of the property.
Make a day of it
Choose waterfalls, riding, a round of golf or a drive through the valley’s small towns—then come back without needing to pack up and move on.
Come back well
Cook, eat, put your feet up and reset. The great room, full kitchen, two showers and underfloor heating make returning part of the pleasure.
