"The house is, technically, as described but there are a few design issues that made it hard to use. The ladder, which is needed to access the loft, blocks the bathroom door. So if you have it in place for climbing, it has to be moved to open the loo door, then moved back to climb back up again. We have stayed in tiny houses before and found them easier to maneuver around. Which would be fine but at this price it should be somewhat more comfy. Caveat Emptor"

The house itself was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. The amenities were also a great touch. We can’t wait to come back again hopefully soon!"

"Yes we had two dogs with us, great spot for them to enjoy. We had an issue with the coffee pot and the owners took care of it within 30 minutes. Only issue was the odor of the water, it was fully explained that it was safe to drink and bathe in but very off putting. We bought water to drink and limited showers. Other than that it is an awesome spot."

"My wife and I had an exceptional stay at this wonderful newly built hideaway. Fantastic views, fantastic facilities, we spent our time cooking and laughing and enjoying the scenery, champagne in the hot tub while watching the sunset is a truly magical experience. We watched scary movies on the large screen TV and made epic nachos in the full kitchen and fell asleep in the king size bed to the sound of rain pattering on the windows. The house had every amenity including high speed internet,...
