Tiny Ikigai beckons you to surrender to the serenade of nature’s symphony, a sanctuary where time slows, and hearts connect.

Jan 2, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great cabin and area, would definitely visit again. Quite a bit of garbage from some kind of abandoned factory nearby, but not on the actual property. Hot days can be rough for pets and small children. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fc7f527d-01c8-4e71-9186-3cc7b13d7274-1767332494795.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Fabian M.
