What a wonderful getaway to a paradise amongst the hills. High end fit out and generous local produce samples. Everything you could wish for. Cabin is so comfy and spacious. Peaceful surroundings to enjoy the flora and fauna. Handy to road trips to the great little towns and markets. One of the best cabins we have stayed in!
