Ryan's Rest was just magical! The setting was so tranquil and private, and you can't go past the view of the dam in the morning. The tiny house was designed in such a way that you don't feel closed in, instead you feel like you're part of the natural setting around it. Jo and Glen were very friendly and always responsive to our questions and last-minute phone calls. We packed a lot of essentials however we didn't need them. Jo has thought of everything - down to the insect repellent and sunscreen at the dam! There's plenty to keep yourself entertained with, we really enjoyed our days just chilling at the dam, playing the various games provided or just reading a book from Jo's expansive collection. My husband and I are already talking about our next trip to Ryan's Rest!
