Friendly, beautiful, modern, cosy, warm and clean.

Work trip and great location to destination. Stayed for a few days and had to extend, enjoyed it so much that I decided to remain at the same location. Beautiful views and loved the working farm all around and the pretty lamas. Hosts are kind and friendly and great communication. The tiny homes are brand new and well insulated and has everything and more than needed. You'll enjoy your stay!
