This is a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful views . Beds very comfortable. Only thing I would change is the furniture. As a senior, and with spinal issues, I prefer firmer seating. Would stay there again.

The space and view were wonderful! We wish we had received responses from the host when we sent messages, but we never heard from them. I saw where historically they are very responsive and appreciate that it was a holiday weekend, though, and that they may not have been available. Otherwise, we were very pleased with our stay.
