Magellanicus Rustic Suites

10/10 Excellent
"This stay was awesome. Start to finish the communication between the owner and Max helped us through all our needs. I was going to the marathon and they gladly accommodated my guests. If I had needs Max was on top of it. I only wish I had more time to hang out with Max around the fire pit. Would recommend the safe and hospitality to everyone and will wish to come back soon."
