Perfect oasis for two. The view from the living room feels like you are camping and the room feels like you get to sleep under the stars. A great place to unwind. The updated kitchen had the extras of utensils and equipment ( food processor, blender, toaster, etc ) and spices and containers. A nice relaxing getaway close to outdoor adventures. Plus the hosts were incredibly easy to communicate with, they really made our stay a great one!

We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely come back again. We are looking into our next booking for the autumn. The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for guests. From the moment we communicated our arrival, until the time we left, everything felt easy and welcoming. Check-in was smooth, and the host provided clear instructions.The space itself was well-maintained and nicely decorated, with plenty of room to relax. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made it easy to prepare our breakfast every morning. We didn't have time to use the grill but it sure was tempting. We especially appreciated the little touches and a cozy living area to unwind in after a long day. Home away from home. The view from the deck and loft were amazingly breathtaking. We are very grateful for our stay and the opportunity to have a peaceful place to take it all in despite our busy days. Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommend to anyone considering staying here! Thank you, Richard and Denne
