It’s twenty minutes away from everything and still secluded when you want to unwind from daily sightseeing, kayaking, eating, and other activities.

The location was peaceful and quiet, tucked up in the mountains with beautiful views and the most incredible starry skies at night. We loved sitting outside in the evenings just taking it all in.It had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay, and we felt right at home the entire time. You can tell a lot of care has gone into making this space welcoming for guests.

The place was soooooo tiny it had an automatic aromatic spray with no air circulation that trigger my allergies. We got the place for two nights and only stayed for one night. And it’s over priced for such a tiny tiny place and the location. It was not what I saw on the picture. ##### Juana Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel 23 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The room was very nice we enjoyed our stay. ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicky H. 19 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Had a great stay! ##### Vicky H.
