Dec 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house is just so authentic and cozy. Everything needed was available. As we stayed during Winter it was a bit chilly, but the hosts welcomed us with a log fire already burning. Lovely place to stay. ##### Manuel B. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2025
