Cozy tiny home with all the amenities. I felt very comfortable while staying here & honestly didn’t care to venture out that much. The only recommendation I would make would be that the owners installed a few hooks either in the bathroom or bedroom for hanging towels, jackets. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.
