Summary: The property grounds are beautiful, and the location is in a quiet, rural setting, that is also less than two minutes away from many conveniences. The lodging itself is small, but perfect for two people, though you could easily accommodate four. The only suggestion is bring a fan to help move the cool air of the air conditioner if staying on particularly hot days.Side note- host makes excellent cookies.
