Summary: Great location and the tiny home was cozy and tidy and immaculately clean to stay in. Our hosts were so easy to deal with and very accommodating to our late night check in. We enjoyed hosts produce from their orchard, the succulent honey from their hives and on a touch of home cooked bread. The grounds are beautifully presented and private. The hot water pressure on the rainhead shower is awesome the water comes from the hosts private spring and was so good on my hair .
