The hosts Sharon and Jeff were wonderful people, down to earth, went out of their way to help. We stayed for 6 nights. The rooms were spacious and clean. The pool easy access, using the BBQ was a great idea with the tools needed supplied. There were little herb gardens in abundance which you could help yourself. I would be visiting again that is for sure.
PET FRIENDLY. Thanks again
