    Amazingly comfortable pods that were perfect for a weekend away, providing a safe, perfectly clean and really cozy and warm environment; the hosts were really friendly and easy to promptly communicate with, both online and in person. No complaints whatsoever, loved the quiet and scenic location by the river, and the starry sky just made one want to look skyward all evening! :) Would recommend, and will return given half a chance. Loved the tasty breakfast too, that was just a perfect start to one's day!!
