Top notch place!

Excellent place to stay - the location, the views, all the little thoughtful details of everything you need and also stuff that made one’s stay even more pleasant (mosquito spray, milk in the fridge for coffee). The hosts were so friendly and helpful too. Can’t recommend this place enough. The room was also so cozy and comfortable- and the balcony a delight! I definitely be back to stay again.

Lovely place which overlooks Russell, but is only a short walk from town. Beautiful private deck which fully opens to the room allows for a.m./p.m. views and air. Baths appear to have been recently renovated. Room is spacious and welcoming. Friendly, attentive owners. I guess you could complain about the steepness of the short entry drive or the fact that you might overhear your neighbors on the next deck … but no, don’t. HIGHLY recommend.

A lovely place to stay in Russell, all the benefits of the village a few minutes walk away but with the benefit of being set back and up high so fantastic views over the village and water from the balcony. Well equipped kitchenette area, great shower and really comfortable beds. Would recommend.
