A very warm welcome from the hosts Phil and Jan who have created a getaway like no other. The attention to detail is unique and we cannot wait to return. The tranquillity and having your own space enables you to really relax. ##### Mark Andrew Harrison ### 10/10 Excellent #### Del B. Jun 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint little hideaway! Phil and Jan have created a lovely place to relax and enjoy. You feel like you are in the country but are right near anything you may need. The bed was comfortable, the shower was great, the sitting room was nice and the kitchen/dining room were filled with anything you would need for your stay. There are trails to walk both on and off the property. And you have easy access to any direction you want to go. The bonus is you get to spend time with Phil and Jan. They are wonderful people who really made our stay special. They are knowledgeable about their own property and it's history as well as the surrounding area. We are hoping to visit them again. I would highly recommend you stay here! ##### Del B.
