Overall a great place to stay. Biggest/only thing was the beds are hard as rocks, and the pillows were very small. Not my cup of tea, but not to say it wont be comfortable for someone else. Great location to the town/restaurants

Warm and Cozy house. The house has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1 powder room downstairs and big living room connected with kitchen and dinning table upstairs. You can park up to 2 cars in front of the house. 10 minutes walk to “Bang Bang”, one of the best restaurant in town.
