Awesome place for some easy days... Very nice setup between the vine and a lovely pond with ducks! Would definitely go there again. The host was very helpful with recommendations for the area, too. 5 star rating for me!
It was a perfect place for an overnight stay located on a vineyard. We called it the little box. Bed was very comfortable and it had both heat and air conditioning.
Quiet clean property. Heat pump great for cooling & early morn heating.

Disappointed
Was like staying in a tiny plastic box. No room to even get in and out of bed. Was very hot and muggy as door wouldn’t latch open and kept blowing shut. No effort had been made to make surroundings more inviting. Very underwhelming
