Charming Stay

helpful staffbeautiful locationsmall sink
The staff was friendly and helpful. The location provided great access to the surrounding natural beauty. I appreciated the warm welcome upon arrival. I enjoyed the evening meal. It had a great selection of choices available on the menu.
I found the wardrobe insufficient for two people staying multiple nights. The sink was also too small. It was difficult to use without hitting my head.
