The nicest, most well equipped place I have EVER stayed. The hosts obviously understand how to host. Everthing was there, we didn't need to ask for a thing. The house was perfect in every way and felt warm and inviting. A true home away from home. The pool was amazing. The kids slept very well. Everything was secure. We even loved having a herb garden. We added some basil, hopefully it survives for next time we come down. The kitchen is beautiful and functional. We loved the books explaining the history and host's efforts and struggles. Just perfect!

    All the staff were nice, particularly Kim. This is not a new property but it has been beautifully renovated. The heated floor was a lovely surprise as well as the decent sized bath in a luxurious bathroom. We had dinner there and it was very classy. The view from our room was across the lake and very peaceful. The location is so handy for Hells Gate and very interesting waterfalls.

    We had a lovely stay here. A great location, quiet neighborhood, plenty of parking, a small, boutique B&B (just 3 rooms). The owner, Vivienne, was so welcoming and kind. The accommodation was clean, chic, well decorated, nice attention to detail, very comfortable, luxurious, great facilities, and we felt utterly at ease. The rooms are modern and elegant.
