Amazing place! The views from the living room and terrace can't be compared to anything else. The inn is so quiet and peaceful, and the guests are taken care of so well; it's been such a great experience. Awesome coffee in the morning, too! (Apologies for drinking approximately 70% of the whole supply every morning :) ).
