Alisha is happy to help with any problem. It is at the top of a steep hill and has a steep driveway - this is not an issue (everything is sealed bitumen) but our mini-van had to be manoeuvred carefully. The BBQ deck is great for cooking dinner on a sunny day. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Abigail Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin W.
