Truly a gorgeous property with amazing hosts! We were easily able to go from location to location on the property with ease. Well kept, clean, very accommodating hosts, and would definitely shoot here again. So many pockets and corners to shoot in which makes it a great place to shoot multiple campaigns if need be. Would highly recommend!
