We had a perfect stay here - walked into town for sights and dining, hiked on nearby trails, and took in a yoga class at a studio Alex recommended. The weather was a little drizzly at times, but that didn't dampen our visit at all. Accommodations were cozy, with a nice outdoor area to sit in when the clouds lifted. Really appreciated having easily accessible laundry, 1 1/2 bathrooms, and everything in the kitchen we could need. Will definitely return and recommend to others. Thank you!
