We enjoyed our stay in Federal- beautiful area, great cafe nearby, and not far to a retreat we were participating in. Good, clear communication from Mark beforehand- he was away for our stay, but friend Renee was great- friendly and helpful with anything we needed. Loved Olive the dog (such a sweetie!), the chooks and fresh eggs, and comfy beds. Would stay again if I'm heading up that way. Many thanks for having us in your house :)
