    A great place to stay that's close to some sensational hiking. Very comfy and well presented. A good amount of stuff for the fire was most welcome. Nice place 👍

    Plenty of dried logs for the fire on very wet days. Lots of room for 3 generations. Well-equipped kitchen. The garden/outdoor seating area would have been super if it had ever stopped raining! Relaxing views.
