Summary: Our stay was perfect and just what we needed. We ventured out a little bit, but we really enjoyed being at house cooking, hanging out by the fire, soaking in the hot tub! The beds are very comfortable so we also had a great nights sleep.

Summary: We arrived right at Sunset on a windy day, and we were able to warm up next to a cozy fire. Day two, things cleared up and were treated to a quiet lake and bright stars from the hot tub. The picture window provided colorful sunrises. All while feeling close to everything: Hiking at Empire Bluff, and dinners at Funistrada, Arts and La Becasse.
