This is such a special place. I needed a place to land for a work event, and was so bummed to have to leave it so soon. Next time, I hope to stay for a few days to unwind. Such a peaceful and beautiful space with every detail thought about. 12/10 stay, thank you so much.

This hideaway was everything we hoped for. Private, peaceful and the perfect spot to reconnect, recharge and relax. Would highly recommend for couples wanting to spend some quiet time together! The extended space when the garage door is opened is just perfect! We absolutely loved it and will definitely return!
