Happy Guests

Glenn was a very proactive, responsive, accommodating and friendly host.
We really enjoyed our stay and our highlight was hearing the rain on the roof as we cuddled up in bed.

We can’t wait to visit again when the surrounding area is more established providing additional privacy.

This would be the ideal place to stay for those looking to take advantage of the scenic walks nearby or those wanting to star gaze away from the street lights in town.
Thank you Glenn!
