"This is a good place to stay when visiting the area and our second time there. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast staff is wonderful. The food is very good and plentiful. They keep everything very clean and the serving area restocked. I even heard the young man giving great tourist advice to an elderly couple. I took off one star because the room type we reserved was unavailable. The desk staff said Expedia had oversold the handicap rooms, so I guess it wasn’t the hotels fault, but it was disappointing."

"My daughters & I stayed 3 nights at Strawbale to celebrate my daughter's 50th birthday. When we stepped through the foyer into the home we were greeted by the best vibe & the house smelled gorgeous! There was so much to take in. The decor is interesting & lovely. The kitchen is huge & incredibly well stocked. Beds comfy & the house stayed a nice even temp day & night. It was mid 80's when we were there. Once outside, you can see all the effort that has gone into all the different areas where you can sit & take in the beautiful views. We saw turkey, a family of deer & a curious little fox each day we were there. Lisa's communication was by far the best I've ever experienced with a host. She was extremely helpful & obviously cares a great deal about her guests experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & look forward to returning, hopefully in the spring. Thank you Lisa & Brendan for a memorable stay."
