Best rest yet!

Amazing communication with the host, on top of that a lovely place to stay at for whatever reason your there for. The place was comfy, accessible, clean, and well done. There is also the beautiful clear lake a minute down from the house (The host has some Kayak equipment which we were very fortunate to make use of down at the lake) All in all would definitely stay here again.

Warm and dry

Overall a nice tidy place. No dinning table made dinners interesting. We think the owner eats outdoors in summer as there was an outdoor table and chairs but not really an option in winter. Lots of missing lightbulbs in the property.
