Nice quaint farm with lots of animals to see and pet!
We loved it here! The hosts were friendly and helpful, we enjoyed seeing the gardens and animals, the rooms were comfy, and the simple kitchen served us well. Very rustic, not fancy--which was perfect for us. It's important to know that there's a fairly long walk up and down a steep gravel road from where you park to the house...which we were totally fine with, but it wouldn't work for everybody. Don't be put off by the clutter at the bottom of the hill--the living space is comfortable and clean, and there's a nice walk around the mountainside property that offers a good view of the surrounding area.
