We arrived at night time so we werenât exactly sure what the surrounding area looked like till the next morning. All I can say is the scenery out of the windows and surrounding the house is amazing!!! I would literally just stare out the bathroom window in complete awe at how beautiful it was. Besides that the house had everything we needed as far as washing machine, fully equipped kitchen and heaters that worked. The bedrooms are also nice and cozy with enough pillows and blankets. While we stayed here we also enjoyed being visited by the neighbourhood cats, which was always a pleasant surprise in the morning. The only thing is that the downstairs did get a bit cold in the living room area unless the fireplace was in use, but it was still manageable. All in all, we would definitely recommend this house, it is perfect for anyone who needs a break from the hustle and bustle, to just be at peace in nature.
