Beautiful little place, with all that you need to enjoy a great stay. The only exception was that I had no internet the entire stay.

The place was quaint and comfortable but the bathroom shower needs updating
We enjoyed our stay but the shower’s water pressure was weak and the temperature fluctuated frequently from warm to hot to colder. The tub is unattractive and would benefit from an update. Other than that, we loved it!
