Each morning, we were served a homemade breakfast, and each night, they served us...See More

Alicia was a wonderful host, the place was gorgeous and the location was perfect. The provided amenities were lovely. Due to our early flight home, we could not have breakfast on our last day, and Alicia packed us up with a breakfast that included her homemade raspberry strudel. It was delicious!
