Absolutely loved it. It's a very small and quaint place. The room was clean & they offered a very nice variety of snacks and coffee/tea for guests. Furnishings and decor in my room was dated but in good condition and clean. It gives cabin vibes. There is also a nice trail for guests to walk located behind the building. I would definitely stay there again!
