"We had a lovely one-night stay here! We were coming back from a sad family event so it served as a quiet, comfortable and cozy place to de-stress and process things. Meleana was awesome at communicating and we even brought our dog which was so nice. The view is stunning. It's quiet, I kept thinking it would be a perfect place to sit and write a novel. Definitely have this one on my list to come back to for a longer period of time. "
