The experience was incredible! I went with my family, and we all enjoyed celebrating my husband's birthday together. My baby was so happy to see the cows and spend time in the pool. The hot tub was nice and warm, which made the experience even more amazing since the weather was cold. I truly recommend this place 10/10! It's beautiful, clean, and the people who helped me complete my reservation were incredibly kind and friendly.

The house was absolutely amazing! We booked it for a weekend family getaway, and we had so much fun! We mainly booked this place because of the pool, and it definitely did not disappoint. We spent pretty much the whole day and even into the night in the pool. The host was also very friendly and communicative throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

We had family from out of town coming in and had to leave our home quickly because of unexpected repairs. The host was very responsive as we worked to book with only 4 days' notice. The home and property were beautiful, comfortable, and very well stocked. We had a family dinner Friday night, then a few family members stopped by on Saturday. It was a great hub for the weekend! I'd definitely book again.

Lovely place. Huge property. Only thing was the water pressure in the master bath, and a few outlets seemed not to work.

Bhoomi means earth. We are a family that lives on and works this land, and we share it with our guests, the cows in the back pasture, and the seasons. We're obsessed with plants, so ask what's growing while you're here.
