Fue una experiencia increíble. Chris y Janette son súper amables. Tuvimos una habitación por privada para nosotros, nos daban de comer súper bien y estábamos muy cómodos. La pasamos de maravilla y realmente lo recomendamos!

Nuestra estadía con ellos fue inmejorable. Súper amables, educados y serviciales. Cumplieron con lo prometido y con creces. Viven en un lugar encantador con 2 perros muy amorosos. Volveríamos sin pensarlo!
