The place was beautiful inside and out, everything was spotless. The hot tub was amazing. Overall our stay was incredible- peaceful, and quiet, and the hosts were friendly and happy to help any time of the day. Best part was the stars!

Everything was perfect! The hot tub was my favourite. You really feel connected with nature - we had some animals pass by our patio which the kids loved. The hosts were very welcoming, friendly and very helpful. We will be back!
