Wonderful property, clean and nice views, quiet area and a bit far from shops and restaurants but quiet and relaxing. Only negatives would been downstairs beds were extremely firm and maybe needed some memory foam mattress pads, minor hickup

Beautiful view from the dinning table. The ferry was down so we had to take the longer route. It's a bit off the trail so of you are short on days something to consider. Very comfortable home.
