Perfectly situated to explore some of the local attractions with a short drive. The owner Muriel is just lovely and could not do enough for us, my wife would return, just to see Muriel again. We will definitely revisit and would recommend this property to anyone who just needs some time out from the hustle and bustle of normal life.
