Excellent overall
This is a beautiful property in a beautiful setting. The owners are fantastic! Very kind and gracious. They provided us with great breads, cheeses, and meats, and eggs etc. We felt right at home and very welcome. Lucky, the dog, made for a Great property mascot. We would absolutely recommend this place.
