Great place to stay. Rooms were cozy and the kitchen was equipped well enough for about anything we needed. We loved the decor and the quiet location. We enjoyed every morning out on the quiet deck or balcony. Note the stairs upstairs are a little steep. Still fine for most people, but for older unstable folks it'd be a little rough. Worked for us as we kept grandparents downstairs.
