Our stay in Holtwood was a slow, relaxing getaway. The cabin styling of the house and entire property were great for disconnecting from the everyday grind and getting back to simplicity.
Absolutely perfect! Kitchen had everything we needed. Check-in was very simple. The property is very inviting and relaxing. Beds are extremely comfortable. We definitely recommend this property.
Very cleaned and well designed place, out in the country. We stayed in the winter, but I bet this is a great spot during the warm months as well. Will book again if I’m coming back to the area!
