They will bring breakfast to you in the morning and anything you need that you don't have. You can sit in your Jacuzzi or take a walk by the creek in the morning. No matter what you do, you will feel one with nature and peacefulness unlike any Hotel could ever offer.

The property has only 2 cabins to choose from, the RANCH STYLE CABIN and the COWBOY CABIN so they are not loaded down with guests. There is a real sense of simplicity there.

Heaven on Earth begs you to "Come get healthy" and "See a slow and quiet world from your cabin's windows and front porch."

You can expect to pay just under $200 per night for your stay for two people regardless of which bed and breakfast you choose.
