Great location for driving local roads
We stayed here as a central location to some of the fantastic local roads in the area. The house was perfect for our needs. The communication was excellent as well. We will definitely stay here in the future.

Great stay!
Very comfortable place with a fantastic view. Very peaceful! Well supplied in the kitchen. Make sure to bring soap and shampoo for showering. The owners may want consider a washer/dryer upgrade as our clothes didn't get very clean or dry.
