We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay! Since we welcomed you a couple of hours before our usual check-in time and the suite wasn’t fully finished yet, we hope that didn’t influence your 8/10 rating. We were happy to accommodate the early arrival and would have loved the chance to complete those final touches for you. Thank you again for staying with us!

Very nicely appointed suite and friendly, accommodating hosts. We were disappointed that the listed wood stove had been removed (for insurance purposes), but the hosts explian the situation and immediately provided a discount. We were impressed with the cleanliness and the well stocked kitchen.

Thank you for your kind words about our suite and hospitality. We’re glad you enjoyed the cleanliness and well-stocked kitchen. Regarding the 4-star rating due to the wood stove being removed, we understand your disappointment. It was removed months before your booking due to insurance requirements, and our listing was updated at that time. We communicated with booked guests to inform them of this with no problems. When you booked, it had been quite some time since it had been removed. We always encourage guests to review the most up-to-date listing details before booking, but we had appreciated your understanding and were happy to provide a discount.

Peaceful, gorgeous view, comfy bed, nice kitchen

This property was clean, well kept, bed was comfortable, little kitchen was well equipped and excellent. Be prepared to jiggle the door lock - it did work and then we got the hang of it!Also, as they mention there is evening noise - not loud, just a bit of walking back and forth.We really enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay here again!The surrounding forest is beautiful, and the view is lovely.
