The king size bed was super comfy and we had a restful sleep every night. At one point we had an issue with the house being quite warm but we contact the owner and he came ...

    The views from the house are out of this world beautiful and it was so peaceful just sitting and watching the world go by. The house was fully stocked I cannot think of anything else that we could’ve needed. There were tons of information in the guestbook on things to do, places to eat and things to know about the house. The king size bed was super comfy and we had a restful sleep every night. At one point we had an issue with the house being quite warm but we contact the owner and he came over straight away and unlocked the thermostat for us so we could control the temperature. We will definitely be back to this little slice of heaven! Thank you for having us! :))
