Beautiful wooden cabin in the trees!

Just like the photos, this is a beautiful two-bedroom cabin that sits up surrounded by trees. It had everything we needed and was just around the corner from Omori where we celebrated friends getting married. It was perfect! We loved the fireplace and even checked out some of the DVDs!

Great holiday house in the trees

Loved this little place in the trees! Very quaint, and the surrounding trees made it feel so private and relaxing. The house creaks as it warms up and cools down, but that’s almost part of its charm! We’d definitely stay here again as it was clean and tidy and we really enjoyed being here.
