Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was lovely, well appointed and beds comfortable. Plenty of room for everyone. The stairs can be a bit much for older people, but they weren't a surprised. We were also informed of the 'intimidating' driveway, so it shouldn't have been a surprise, but it was a surprise when the car couldn't make it up all the way up because it was so steep!

A beautiful house among the trees. Relaxing. Cozy. Airy. Comfortable. Our teenage children loved it as did we. Great for our dogs, too. It's the second time we have stayed. The hosts were fantastic. We will stay again.
