Last but not least the breakfast - it was delicious and the selection of sweet and savoury was perfect! Thanks to the whole team at Riversong...

Divine Destiny Vacation Home at Windcliff

8/10 Good

"very nice views"

Modern mountain cabin condo w/steam shower + essential living design

8/10 Good

"The cabin was in a perfect location and the steam shower is definitely a winner. My only disappointment was when it came to the bed for the 2 out of 4 heads. It's not a fold-out couch as advertised, it's a very cheap Ikea type of couch that has an ottoman that expands that gives the impression of a full to Queen bed but it's just very flimsy and uncomfortable. Everything else was really nice and thoughtful. Host had everything you needed in the cabin, from coffee to laundry or even filtered water. Thank you for the pleasant stay."
