The location was fantastic as well as Bruce and Sharon were stand out hosts. So lovely to be in the country on a working farm.
The only thing was the second bed needs upgrading to something more comfortable.

Lovely spot, more lux than expected too
Impressive country cabin. New, clean, fresh and well presented. Not at all "rustic", even though it's off-grid.

Lovely private cabin overlooking a creek on a farm in a quiet and scenic valley. Bruce and Sharon were very friendly and helpful hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay.
