10/10 Excellent

We had a great stay here during our road trip. Owners were very welcoming. The place has a lovely rustic feel and is located in a stunning area! Had a nice little camp fire going by the river in the evening. Beds were the most comfy on our entire road trip! Would definitely stay here again! Thank you!
