Mike was such a great host, communication was very clear and quick to answer with any questions. The house has the most stunning view, especially sunrise over the mountain and lake right in front. The fireplace was perfect for the drizzly days and the surrounding area has so much to enjoy in good and bad weather. The house had everything you needed and it was incredibly cosy and comfortable.

Beautiful spot

The property suited our group of 6 perfectly. Lovely setting and the house had everything we needed. The driveway was very steep but we parked the car at the bottom and walked up. Enjoyed our stay.
