Second time my group gas stayed at this location, and we absolutely love it. Great spot. Big open spaces and comfortable. It has become an annual event for my friends and I to stay here and enjoy the area.

Shepherd House was a lovely place for our family to meet. We loved having 3 bathrooms and filling the thermal pool was an interesting experience. The house was large and comfortable and there were extra toys to keep the kids entertained. 😊

It was a nice place to stay. But the thermal pool was very disappointing. We filled it up as per instructions with the help from the agent, only returning the next day to fined it had emptied out. That was our main reason for booking this house!!
