Amazing!

Everything about our stay at Rest and Be Thankful was perfect! The layout of the house allows for a lot of privacy, and everyone had their own bathroom. The rooms are very spacious and clean, and the common area with the fireplace is so cozy! We also enjoyed soaking in the hot tub after a long day of hiking and Oktoberfesting. We enjoyed our stay very much and are already planning our next trip! Danke!
