Aug 4, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Charming rustic retreat! We appreciated being greeted by Ivan the host and he showed us the property and generously gave us vegetables fresh from the garden. The property has groomed walking paths and the ping-pong in the barn was a great bonus feature. The beds were firm and comfortable - note that 1 is in its own bedroom and the other 2 are in open concept spaces. Bathrooms are huge and water pressure and hot water was strong which isn’t always the case in rural spots. Kitchen is well equipped and BBQ is on its own hookup so no fussing with tanks. Any questions or issues we had Ivan was super quick to respond and help. If you are looking for rustic - charming - peace & quiet - then this is a good spot. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1ec8ccf4-be00-4343-bd1c-341c606d561f-1754336972501.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Marissa A.
