Very caring host, giving us good driving instructions ahead of time and a supply of food for breakfast taking in consideration the dietary restrictions of my spouse.

What an incredible stay and views. Wish we had more days so we could have taken the kayaks out. Easy and relaxing surroundings. Well stocked and the courtesy yogurts, milk and fresh baked brownies were awesome!!

Our stay was amazing from our first contact with our host Geraldine. The home was amazing and the lake beautiful. The secret garden is an art feature of its own, just like walking into a story book.So much time, love and passion have gone into this home. Thankyou for sharing it with us.
