Plumbing in disrepair, water rusty, kitchen unsanitary, host impolite, breakfast not hosted for all guests equally, bathroom so small could not sit on commode with door closed, put in smallest room even though larger rooms were available, such a unpleasant experience we left before breakfast. Can't believe I paid for this!!! Not recommended!

This property is past it's prime and has a bit of a 'tired' feeling about it. The brochure and web site are beautiful but the property has fallen into a bit of disarray. It is 'rustic' and clean but you can tell from the grounds that it has not gotten a lot of attention lately. The fountain in the front yard is full of stagnant water and the tall weeds detract from what could be a beautiful front yard. The 'world-class gourmet delights' coming from the kitchen was weak coffee, a fruit bowl that consisted of grapes and sliced bananas, two slices of turkey bacon and two small blue cornmeal pancakes served with a sugary, berry syrup rather than authentic maple syrup. The breakfast is really rather ordinary.

The picnic table outside our Casita, was not useable. It was old and broken. A couple of outdoor chairs would have greatly enhanced allowed us to enjoy the outdoors.

They make the kitchen available to guests but it is so full of STUFF all over the counters that there is little, if any, room to really use the kitchen.

During a local wine tour, we ran into another couple who was also staying there, but inside the main house, who were astounded between what the brochure/web site pictures show versus the reality. They said the en suite bathroom was so small that it was really uncomfortable. (You could hit your head on the vanity countertop when you bend down to use the toilet!)

It's a pleasant place but certainly not as pictured. The owners are nice.

We just spent two wonderful nights at the Spirit Tree Inn. We were greeted by Maurice the pet goat in the front pasture. It only got better from there. It felt like arriving at your grandmothers farm in the country. Our host Tom met us at the door to the old ranch
house and showed us to our room, The Library, then disappeared until the next morning when he fixed us a wonderful breakfast. He visited with us and gave us advice on how to reach the places that we planned to visit. We arrived back about dark and met our other host Mary Jane who just drove in from Tuscon where she works four days a week. The next morning they made us another spectacular breakfast. Tom is really a great cook and obviously enjoys his work. After breakfast we were given a tour of the Amish Barn and met the rest of the animals: Nina the dog, Sue & Callie the cats, and the horses. As I was packing the car to leave, I was assisted by Nina and the cats
who acted as if they wanted to accompany us. They were very friendly but not allowed on the patio or in the house. The hummingbirds were buzzing around the patio from dawn to dusk. My only regret is that we did not stay longer. Next time I will use them as my base and forget the Hampton Inns I use along the way. It was truly a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it.

We found the Spirit Tree Inn to be an enriching experience. The ambience both inside and outside was heavenly. A perfect place to meditate, watch for birds as well as the animals that make up the environment. The Amish barn is a focal point and we were very fortunate to have partaken of the concert. The hostess and the hosts were so very accommodating. We had two breakfasts there that were absolutely gourmet. Yes we would return and probably go in the Fall to take in the color of the trees and relax.
