Awesome place for peace and quiet. A great little getaway for couples and family. The hosts Peter and Diana are amazingly attentive. The best hosts by far and I've stayed at many rentals. We look forward to coming back if they will have us. God bless.

The defining characteristic of this estate is the profound quiet. We heard virtually no traffic or neighborhood noise, making it the perfect sanctuary for reading and, enjoying deep, uninterrupted sleep. It felt like a true escape from the bustle of the city. The Property and Host: The space itself was immaculate, thoughtfully decorated, and extremely comfortable. Peter was an excellent host, providing easy check-in instructions and prompt, helpful communication. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for genuine peace and quiet. We can't wait to return!

Staying at the cabin was a wonderful experience. Peter and Diana were great hosts, very communicative and welcoming. We were greeted with flowers, chocolates and hand written card. Place is fitted with all new amenities, well equipped kitchen with dishes and even a washer/dryer combo. There are two bedrooms in the loft area, one with queen bed and other with two twin beds. Full bathroom with shower with multiple shower heads. Overall this tiny house provided everything we could possibly ask for. Highly recommended.
