Portfolio Expert Review
"The setting here is absolutely idyllic. Herds of Holstein cows graze emerald pastures and drink from mirror-like dams, against the dramatic mountain backdrop. Jeannine has redecorated the rooms with gorgeous decor from her Vanilla Rose shop, just down the road at The Olde Duck coffee shop. Kids love the animal farm and play area at The Olde Duck, which is also the base for Sani Spoors mountain bike trails."
