Excellent Relaxing & Peaceful Place
We loved the location!!!. The rooms were nicely laid out. Lots of comfort and space. An incredibly quiet and relaxed place. Everything we needed was there in the cabin. It was a wonderful weekend. I highly recommend this cabin, and Charles the owner was very friendly and helpful, always willing to give us his help in case of need. A "BRAVO" for Charles and his wonderful cabin. Olga
