This property is conveniently located, well appointed and pet friendly. We enjoyed the fireplace on cool autumn nights. The exterior spaces and property landscaping are welcoming and invite peaceful introspection. The serene surroundings and comfortable beds allowed for restful sleep and an overall relaxing escape. Finally, we appreciated the informative guest book with local history and hiking recommendations.
