This place is pretty magical. There are two dogs and a white horse on the premises which really add to the appeal. The cabañas are so cozy and unique. I've never stayed somewhere so in nature. You can hear the sounds of nature all around you. It's also pitch black at night when you turn your light off which is pretty special.

The only bad thing is when you have to...
