The beautiful cattle grazing just at the edge of the property certainly added to the charm of it. The property had all we needed for a short stay. It was clean, warm and cozy and the internet was great. It was also great to have Netflix for nights. Jane and Craig were great hosts, very friendly and helpful and their friendly lab Maia was a welcome playmate for our dog. My children were wishing we could stay longer. If we're looking to stay in the neighbourhood again, we will definitely be back. ##### jacqueline r.
