Nice location close to the town center. The rooms were cozy but the walls are very thin so you can hear everything in the adjoining rooms. Also the bed and pillows were quite uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good nights sleep.

The property was conveniently located near the center of the village. Unfortunately there was no water for the sink and the refrigerator was more of a small drinks chiller that went down to 56°.

The Fireside in is a cozy and comfortable cabin space. Overall perfect for a night getaway. The town surrounding does close relatively early so food around may be limited in selection. There’s a couple things to fix up in the bathroom and amenities. I would happily stay again.
