What a magnificent piece of paradise! I highly recommend staying at FlashTown - everything about our visit was amazing. From the moment we got there, Jessie treated us like family. The yard is well thought out & filled with a number of beautifully cultivated areas to explore, bordered by wild forest. We loved getting to meet all the cats, chickens & dogs that call this haven home. Each element of this experience highlighted the love, dedication & forethought invested in the space by its caretaker. I can only see it becoming even more magical with time
