If you like rustic charm then this could be the place for you. The cabin had a lot of natural grain wood finish if that's your thing, natural quiet surroundings, horses and an outdoor pizza oven. The owner is very friendly and check out times are very relaxed. Will definitely stay there again if we are in the area.

Our second time staying at this property, we even had the very same cabin. Steve, the host was fantastic. He made it nice and simple for our late arrival and popped in to check if we needed anything in the morning. We will absolutely stay here again. Fantastic location surrounded by nature. Thanks again Steve.

It's in a magical location with a special atmosphere all of it's own. If you look past the cobwebs, spiders and walls in desperate need of a paint, the important amenities (sheets, kitchen, floor, toilet) were clean. An enjoyable stay!

After our room had been given to another party the owner did correct this. The chalet was filthy. Dust, mould, filthy dush brush, spiders in the bathroom, stain on the bunk sheet, broken window latch meant we couldnt shut it, door didnt lock. The room was warm with 2x heaters and the area quiet apart from mice in the ceiling at night.

Cute little cabin needs a good scrub
Cute little cabin and had everything we needed but thick cobwebs inside the windows with spiders, dirty inside window frames and kitchen shelves, some dirty and smelly towels, some dishes dirty, outside furniture and deck mildew - could have easily been a wonderful stay but this made it very average. Sorry guys, someone needs to give Cabin 2 a good clean and then it would be wonderful.
