    I would stay here again just for the lounge and kitchen area. It's so cozy and relaxing with a modern-rustic feel. Cozy couches blankets, carpet, comfy seating and soft, warm lighting. The open fireplace and café style seating, with board games...

    We loved staying here. The bed was comfortable, there were a little extras in the room and we had access to a kitchen that exceeded our expectations. We wish we had time for a longer stay.
