Beautiful place with nice attention to details. We were disappointed to find both fireplaces dysfunctional on arrival, as the outdoor fire pit had been a central plan in ending a special evening. Sound carries easily so no privacy between single washroom & bedrooms. Overall, very nice but I expected more for the high price point.

I absolutely loved staying here! It’s just like the photos, and the neighborhood is so peaceful. I saw all kinds of birds and the view is stunning. I felt very at home here and the host was helpful. Would definitely stay again ᵕ̈
