It was clearly well-kept, had everything we needed for a comfortable night's stay and nothing we didn't. We arrived early evening and owner wasn't there but left the key and details for us. Bathroom lotions and soaps were nice, and so was the heat lamp!

Quaint

Quaint little place to stay. The bed was comfortable. There is a microwave, fridge & small coffee pot in the room. We had a small, private area off the back with an outdoor table & chairs. Wish there was a broom to brush off the twigs & leaves from nearby trees, otherwise it was nice.
