Sep 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Absolutely perfect location, very scenic and quiet. The cabin was cozy, well equipped and the ideal base for exploration of the area. Bed was super comfy, had the best night's sleep and the shower blasted you awake for the day ahead. All in all a brilliant wee find and we'd definitely return. Thank you to Monica and Mark for a restful few days. ##### Alanna R.
