The location is incredibly gorgeous, right in the middle of the valley. It's surrounded by a stream, mountains, and lots of wildlife. The hosts are so lovely. They constantly made me feel welcomed and taken care of. Even in the middle of winter, they ensured I never felt too cold. They gave me extra blankets and would turn on my heated mattress pad for me so my bed was already warm. Finally the house itself is just beautiful. It feels modern and rustic at the same time. All the facilities are very clean and work well, and the bed is comfortable. I cannot wait to come back and stay again.
