10/10 Excellent
"An outstanding experience. Beautiful views, (very) clean and comfortable cabin and so much peace, quiet and tranquility. Just the soothing sounds of wind in the trees and cows grazing the pasture. Cozy and charming with just the right modern touches (high-speed WiFi, powerful water heater) to ensure a smooth stay. As we were packing up, a bald eagle landed outside the window as a parting view. We hope to return for another restorative stay. Thank you for the hospitality and high standards."
