Summary: What a gem! You can see the care that the proprietors, Marcus & Elin put into the property. So many wonderful details, that we really appreciated. Being greeted by Stella, also made our stay quite happy. The breakfast was amazing, and every day was something different. From start to finish, everything was perfect. I highly recommend and would absolutely stay there again. It was worth every penny.

Summary: This a very large BnB which is particularly nice in that guests are not on top of each other. There is plenty of space in this beautifully restored home. 3 floors, most with private bathrooms and some with really nice additional spaces. The views of the latke from our room, the front porch and the rest of the property were great. There are games and activities available both indoors and out. Very friendly and comfortable.
