We absolutely loved this tiny home! Perfect location - peaceful with stunning views in every direction. The home itself was spotless with everything you need, including a very generous amount of firew...ood that kept us nice and cozy on some cold winter nights. Hours spent in the amazing hot tub overlooking the beautiful property was an absolute treat.

Matt and Kym were great hosts, promptly answering any questions we had and the hamper was a really nice touch.

Would absolutely recommend this stay to anybody looking for a peaceful getaway!

A perfect midweek winter getaway. Plenty of firewood to keep the outdoor and indoor fireplace roaring all day and night long.

The cabin was really cosy, almost too cosy with the indoor fireplace go...ing. We had to open the door during the night to let some cold air in!

We enjoyed an afternoon walk around the property, which I would highly recommend.
