“Exceeded all expectations.”
Beautiful rural setting close to township. Every comfort provided for. Thoughtful support offered for 2 non couple adults, provision of excellent foldout bed. Great parking, lovely private patios and garden environment.. safety through proximity to main house, but respectful privacy and superb refuge on a holiday weekend. Thank you.
