We loved this spot, we stayed in one of the 2 bed cabins. It was cozy and updated, while still being amidst nature. There were walking paths and beautiful trees and gardens all around the property, which set this place apart. I also enjoyed having a a little deck to sit on while enjoying my morning coffee.

Michael and Jacob were great host. Bathrooms too small, but our cottage was very clean, and neat. We were lucky to have a cottage with a garden.
