    Off the beaten trail and sits on a lake. Is part of an operating farm. Had the opportunity to talk to someone about how the farms operate. Full kitchen available for an evening meal. Breakfast was excellent. Could not ask for better services. ...

    Very easy to find and the hosts met us and showed us to our room and various amenities. Beds were comfy and the common areas (a living room/dining room combo and a kitchen) were very helpful!

    So peaceful, clean and communal. Enjoyed the interaction with other guests and the half bath option as a backup for full bath. Slept so deeply in comfortable beds and quietest surroundings I can recall EVER! Stayed 3 nights and northern lights...
