Guest Experiences
What Our Guests Say
"A real guest quote that speaks to the heart of the experience."
-- Guest Name
“Our group did not leave the property during our stay. High Cloud Farm was almost perfect for our large group of friends; there was plenty of space for cooking, eating, relaxing, and playing games. The main house and barn were well-maintained, and the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and well-presented. The outside spaces were fantastic: we enjoyed walking around the property's many beautiful acres, as well as having fun in the pool and hot tub. The amount of outside seating (at the picnic tables) was excellent; there aren't many properties we've been to that have had enough decent space for everyone to sit together.”
“Recommends Cripple Creek. The stay was wonderful. Fully packed kitchens which enabled us to prepare xmas dinner for 26 of us. The house keeper was very accommodating and checked in with us and very helpful after when we thought a guest had left behind an item.”
“We were using the venue (all three parts) for a Retreat, so we did not leave the site.”
“The views and grounds were amazing! Loads of space in the house as well.”
“What a blast we had for a family 90th birthday party, we ate well, slept well and having the swimming pool and jacuzzi was definitely a positive, Mike was amazing and really helpful as the contact. Would we return again, thats a positive yes!”
“This was a great venue for our family birthday celebration. The pool, hot tub and games room were enjoyed by everyone and we really appreciated having the space to socialise and eat together. A perfect setting for making special memories! We had Borderlands Archery come on-site and they were fantastic every step of the way! On the day, Ian was amazing he made the entire experience fun, engaging, and memorable. Highly recommend! Creates Bistro and Boutique B&B served a delicious brunch and thd staff were super friendly.”
