The cozy cottage was the perfect, private, and peaceful retreat, with beautiful views all around it. Our host, Mark, was genuinely welcoming and friendly throughout our stay, and we appreciated that the directions were well-described and all necesary amenities were present, ensuring excellent service. Highly recommend this spot.
