A perfect place for our family (living in different parts of the world) to reunite and connect. Peaceful charming ancestral house (yet very well kept and fonctionnal) surrounded by fruit and nut trees, a cute stream to listen to, wildlife cohabiting near us. Ted, the host, made our stay so much more meaningful. Merci beaucoup!!!

Steep stairs up to the 2 bedrooms and 1/2 bath could prove challenging for some so maybe best give a heads up about that . Well stocked kitchen for prepping meals. Lots of hot water, and great shower. Friendly animals next door! And an exceptionally friendly and helpful hostThank you!

Wonderful nature: mature trees, large green lawn, deers, stream.Clean rooms, good air conditioning, older but well kept house, with washer and dryer.It would be greater if the host can provide a microway oven.There is on full bathroom and a half bath, unfortunately, the half bath is inside one of the bedrooms. It is great the ones who stay in the room, but others cann't access it.
