Excellent for much needed rest and relaxation. Coffee in the much loved swivel blue chairs in front of the big windows, board games during the rain, stunning sunsets from the master bedroom, awsome swimming holes, hiking and fishing spots off the rocks...so good, we loved it!

Beautiful location, house had everything we needed. The fire place is such a bonus and though the house was warm and cosy with out it.The drive way is a little scary but with confidence and caution can be managed. Other than that our stay was perfect.The view is amazing in any weather, rain or sun shine.Thanks for having us and help make our holiday great.
