"Literally the best quality bnb I have ever stayed. The place was impeccably clean and all the appliances were of premium brands and top notch quality. Andrew was a welcoming and thoughtful host who was very accommodating as well."

— Tony

"Without a doubt this was THE BEST accommodation ever! It was spotless, comfortable and modern. It was so well equipped with extras we never expected like the lighted make-up mirrors in the bathrooms, TVs in both bedrooms as well as the lounge and Temperpedic mattresses. The perfect place for two couples."

— Donna

"Absolutely fantastic place to stay. New, immaculate, lovely linen, all the little amenities considered such as coffee pods, pantry staples and loads of wood for the cozy fire. Epic mountain and lake views and a very easy walk via the BEAUTIFUL 15min river walk directly to the lake. Andrew was very responsive and helpful. Wish we could have stayed longer."
