Unique and powerful place with natural beauty both inside and out. Beautiful, tasteful, unobtrusive decor with luscious wood walls and flooring; fantastic vista to be seen of mountains and trees. There even seems to be a babbling brook audible nearby. Very quiet, and pretty much ideal for what I was looking for (an escape into the woods).
The host is gracious and laid back in communications, and at no point does one feel worried about unintentionally stepping on his toes by forgetting to do x or y — the ideal attitude in general and especially for this sort of situation.
Basically, it felt as if what I had hoped existed had come into reality -- had to pinch myself a few times to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
