We had a wonderful stay. The property was exceptional. It was a wonderful surprise to find a kitchen stocked with spices and essential cooking items and high quality appliances.Our host shared organic just picked veggies from her garden and gave us tips on making friends with the llamas. The sheets were high quality an everything was so comfortable. When we mentioned that we would like to attend a concert in the park, our host delivered low back chairs.Highly highly recommend.

Elisabeth & her mom were wonderful guests—thoughtful & considerate—and they left the cottage in pristine shape. We'd be delighted to host them again!
