Our host was super rapid with responses to any questions we had. And the home was outfitted with everything you’d need, right down to spices. I was so impressed with all the thought and presentation and preparation our host presented in this property. Would definitely come back!

We really enjoyed the cozy cottage; perfect size for the two of us. It was so welcoming to find a bottle of local wine left for us to enjoy. We found many places to hike in the area. Appreciated the help with directions (don’t turn on Roberts Road). Nice to sit outside in both the front and back.
