Note: hot water comes from a gas system with limited capacity. Designated smoking areas are provided, and the property is non-smoking indoors.
“The charm of this retreat lies in its atmospheric design, thoughtfully equipped for comfort, and the truly arresting, peaceful views that dominate the experience. I found the privacy and quietude to be profound, enhanced by little touches like the firewood and coffee setup, and the bathtub, which easily doubles as a hot tub, truly elevates the stay. It feels like a place you'd want to return to, a genuine escape that captures the essence of the surrounding life.”
