The house was extremely clean and had every home comfort imaginable. The beds were very comfortable and the showers were fantastic. Binoculars and a telescope were even provided to look over the surrounding landscape. We were lucky enough to have clear skies during the nights and we're treated to a fantastic star viewing. Breathtaking!

The house itself is fantastic with great views. We were arriving late and had a hard time communicating with the hosts (via phone or email). Also, there was no sugar or coffee in the kitchen and the only store in town closed before we got there :(.
