    Beautiful view from the front of the cottage over looking dams and fields. Rooms were very comfortable, shower was great. All in all a very delightful place.

    Wonderful views of the icy mountains, open valleys, the fields, and great endless slopes across the landscape. The privacy of our cottage was also great and the fresh, crisp air was a gift.
