This was a wonderful place to stay. Was very quiet during the day and at night. It was a very pleasant surprise to find that the unit included dish soap, body wash, qtips, etc. Basically everything needed was there. Warning though, the garage is not for a full sized truck but our minivan did just fit inside.

Magical stay!

The property was immaculately clean and very comfortable. Hosts provided many thoughtful touches to make us feel welcomed! The location was absolutely perfect and the view was gorgeous. The village and home made us feel worlds away, almost like staying in a fairy tale. We really enjoyed the restaurant across the street and found it to be very reasonably priced. Book this property with confidence you will not regret it! We hope to return soon!

Gastoff house rental

Overall great stay. Place was just as described. Very nice decor. Convenient to everything we were doing. Easy to find and loved that we could pull in the garage especially with the weather rain and wind. None of the stores were open to shop but met some really nice people in the community. Overall woukd definitely recommend and book again. Only recommendations: a better lock on the entry door. Large gap in the door meeting and just didnt seem that secure in my opinion. Deep pocket sheets for the bed. Sheets did not fit well and kept sliding off.

This home was spotless and beautiful. It is located in a quiet village community, making it very relaxing and peaceful. The amenites were great and the host let us know he was available if we needed thing. We got in a little later than we planned on the day of our arrival and he even messaged us to see if we got in okay!! The Park Diner Place restaurant just up the road had great food and service! The servings were huge.The location of this home was away from the hustle and bustle of more populated areas, but only 25-30 minutes away from tourist areas like Kitchen Kettle Village and Sight and Sound. We will definitely try to stay here the next time we visit.
