Everything was beautiful, except for the amount of stink bugs that were in the location. Honestly, though, don’t let that deter you from going here. The property itself is very nice, and the accommodation is very comfortable.

Little Home
Beautiful home and stay. Felt like they owners thought of everything.Everything was clean. We did find a toe nail and a used Qtip on the ground. But other then that is was a beautiful few days. We walked on the trails and went back to a cozy, tiny home. :)
