Summary: Appreciated the garage, especially for rainy times. Great layout for 2 guests with wonderful views. Two minor issues were that the oven/stove control dials were unreadable so we were not sure what temperatures were being set; and Kleenex tissues were not supplied. We would definitely recommend to others or return ourselves to this charming location!
