Lovely property, secluded stay in the forest. The water in the spa came out dirty but otherwise a wonderful getaway. Maybe put some lights up along the path so it’s easy to see at night when driving into the area.

Fantastic quiet getaway! Very clean and tidy but for the price you pay there should be a ready supply of wood for the fire at no extra cost.
