We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Kartika was incredibly responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with throughout the trip. The place itself was spotless, well-maintained, and felt very new, which made our stay even more comfortable. Everything was exactly as described, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended to nature lovers!

A great place to stay even on a winter. Only the BBQ would'nt be usable as too much snow would make the deck unusable. Otherwise a nice place to stay. Looking forward ro fall. Should be way exciting.
