Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Outstanding. The house is spacious, and the suites comfortably seperated by plenty of common areas. The house gives you the old house aesthetic while being in outstanding repair, my mold allergies did not trigger and I was able to use the inside and outside common areas comfortably. Everything was clean and thoughtfully decorated. The after hours table begs for a microwave, but other than that the snack area was convenient. The host provide an outstanding breakfast in a semi formal dining room. Europeans style service with multiple small courses prsented in turn and ample opportunities for table talk. Very convenient, about 35 min to most locations, which is good once you get used to the distances here. Hosts are welcoming and quite helpful.

Great stay.

Our stay was fantastic. I wish we would have planned to stay longer. Our little cabin was perfect. Tessa and Bernard were great hosts. I feel like we made friends. They were able to accommodate my wife’s food issues even though I forgot to mention it until four days before our arrival. And the food was phenomenal. We look forward to going back.
