Exceeded expectations
All I can say is we were very sad to leave. Such a beautiful place, exceedingly clean, cozy, peaceful, private and relaxing. Lots of space in the house, well stocked and super close to town (but we hardly left!) Sitting on the deck and watching so many birds at dusk was a highlight. Looking forward to coming back someday.
