My husband and I stayed here for our 1st year anniversary and it was wonderful. The property was so peaceful and quiet. The hosts were friendly and very accommodating. Our room was nicely furnished and clean. It also had a balcony which was great. We will definitely be back.

We had a great stay! The hosts were very accommodating of our young kids and we loved the very cozy Osprey Nest Room, which had nooks for two twin beds in addition to the queen bed. Breakfast was delicious. Beautiful grounds. We will come again!
