Too hot to handle
Unfortunately the air conditioning was not sufficient and we ended our trip early. The bbq grills were too rusty to cook on.

Clean and cozy
Enjoyed a relaxing weekend. Everything true to listing. Friendly and prompt responses from the owners. Calm and beautiful location.
Only cons were a small step between the kitchen and bedrooms resulted in a few toe injuries, and you're expected to clean despite the cleaning fee.
Overall a great experience with lovely people.
