Clean and relaxing place to stay
Such a calm location. Driveway enough for two 7-seater cars and more. Outhouse with another 2 bedrooms separated from the main house is prefect for us as kids can sleep quietly there, and we don’t need to worry about chatting too loud. Bathroom in the main house is awesome. Not only it is clean but the water pressure is very good.
