We had a wonderful stay at Wheel Hus! The home is absolutely beautiful—cozy and thoughtfully designed. We especially loved the fireplaces and heated floors, which made it feel extra comfortable and inviting. The property is very private, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, and there were plenty of blankets and towels available. Having laundry in the house was also a huge plus. The hosts were very responsive and proactive, and we appreciated the firewood being provided. They were also extremely accommodating and flexible when we needed to extend our stay. We would highly recommend this home and would definitely stay again!
