Masquerade was really beautiful (with scenic views), well-decorated, tidy, and truly one-of-a-kind. John was extremely friendly, accommodating, and welcomed us at the door for check-in, and I felt right at home when I walked in. He was also really easy to communicate with, and I truly enjoyed our conversations in the evening. One thing that could be improved on would be installing locks on the doors for extra security/privacy since there might be other guests staying within the same home (have shared this issue with John and I’m glad he is open to hearing our feedback). Nonetheless, I really enjoyed my stay (it felt like a real retreat into the mountains) and the birds that came to visit in the morning were the loveliest. He even provided me with free breakfast (the homemade jam, milk and bread was amazing!!) Thank you for hosting me John, and hope to see you next time :)
