Amazing place
This place judt happened to be in the exact area I needed to be in. The little house was so cute, and beautifully done up. It felt homely, but also luxurious.
It was so nice to find there were snacks and breakfast supplies for us, as well as a new toothbrush and paste, because i stupidly forgot mine.
Our Hosts were so warm and welcoming, the only warm hearted couple that I have met that greeted us with smiles and hugs and actually took the time to have a conversation. The view was beautiful, the area quiet, I loved the unit that we stayed in. Debbie’s Husband explained why they gave their little unit its name. It’s exactly as our awesome Hosts said.. I would recommend this little gem to anyone 😊💯👍
