The accommodations were fantastic! It was such a romantic setting. I can't praise the owners enough. They made themselves very accessible during our entire stay. The electricity went out briefly, totally out of their control, they brought us an extra blanket, lights, and a phone charger. They also provided us info about local attractions, which was helpful for out of towers. We would certainly recommend this rental and wouldn't hesitate to rent it again ourselves. ##### Crystal I.
