My fiance and I stayed here for a few days and it was perfect for the two of us. It was small and cozy and had everything we needed as well as extremely clean and welcoming. Mike and Michelle took time to help us with some suggestions on local places to eat and the best places to hike. We were very close to a lot of things to do on the quiet side. I highly recommend staying here to anyone!
