The host was very accommodating, fit us in last minute which gave us more time to see the sites. The beds were so comfy and the bathroom was a dream for a rental. Lots of room to spread out. The proximity to the Wine trail was a big plus after hiking all day we could visit close to our stay!

Loved the coziness and comfort. A few minutes walk to a nice trail and in the center of a quiet and quaint small town. Mr. Young is one of the best hosts that I have had the pleasure of working with and we are repeat customers. Would definitely stay again.
