Not worth the amount of money paid for it for two nights, but the stay was nice.

Amazing place!! The decor is so cute and the place was spotless. Looked exactly like the pictures and kitchen was also well stocked. The location is extremely quiet and only 7min drive to the town where all the shops and restaurants are. The only thing I would say is the water pressure in the shower is not the best, but that didn’t affect our stay at all. Still highly recommend this place!!
