anniversary get away

clean and in a beautiful setting! Well worth the extra driving to get to. It had everything we needed. The only reason I give 4 stars for representation was I wasn't completely clear that it was a ladder to the loft not stairs. The ladder was just fine and we had no issues getting up and down. Beds were comfortable and would definately stay again.
