Awesome place for peace and quiet. A great little getaway for couples and family. The hosts Peter and Diana are amazingly attentive. The best hosts by far and I've stayed at many rentals. We look forward to coming back if they will have us. God bless.

Staying at the cabin was a wonderful experience. Peter and Diana were great hosts, very communicative and welcoming. We were greeted with flowers, chocolates and hand written card. Place is fitted with all new amenities, well equipped kitchen with dishes and even a washer/dryer combo. There are two bedrooms in the loft area, one with queen bed and other with two twin beds. Full bathroom with shower with multiple shower heads. Overall this tiny house provided everything we could possibly ask for. Highly recommended.
