"Great stay. Comfortable rooms and good service. The outside of the building looked run-down, but the interior was good. Parking was not clearly marked."

"More of a hotel than a hotel. Plenty of room and comfortable accommodations "

"The property offers breathtaking, secluded, and truly unparalleled views—an absolute feast for the eyes! However, the path to the house was far more challenging than we anticipated. While we were aware of some elevation and rockiness, it exceeded our expectations in difficulty. If we had known, we either would have reconsidered renting or come better prepared, bringing food on our initial trip up to avoid multiple trips down and back.The listing also stated that the property was beachfront, but that was not the case, which added to our surprise. We stayed during the off-season when all the nearby restaurants were closed, which posed another unexpected challenge. This wouldn’t have been an issue had we known and planned ahead and brought provisions from elsewhere.For those prepared—both physically and mentally—this place is a gem. It’s a remote, serene escape with stunning scenery, but it’s vital to understand the physical effort required to access it. Come ready, and it’s worth the adventure!"

"Great stay!"
