Easy enough to find on Sat Nov I had a 2 night stay, the property had plenty of parking space and good outdoor space for sitting. All facilities worked well and were clean, the owner/ host showed extensive knowledge of the area which aided my stay. My breakfasts were super offering quality and variety..worth it just for the breakfast. I would not hesitate making a return visit.
