charming getaway!

warm greetinghelpful informationdark environment
the host, david, greeted guests warmly and provided helpful information for planning our lake excursions. i have already rebooked for a return visit during the summer, such was my enjoyment.
the bathroom light stopped working twice . the need for additional staff is apparent, as one person seemed to manage all tasks, from check-ins to bar service, which looked quite demanding.
