Property was veey cozy, just right for a few nights away from the routine. Location is nice and quiet, just enough off the main road to be comfortable sleeping at night.

Nice and cozy spot! We were there 3 nights and really only used it to sleep in as we were visiting family. It fit our needs perfectly! Hot cup of coffee in the morning and the ambience of the A-frame was spectacular, we would stay here again!
