This was the best place we've stayed at away from home. Everything was perfect: the location, the surroundings, the house, and of course, the host, Alexis.
Alexis is a wonderful host who is flexible, responsive, accommodating, and caring. When we arrived, we found a basket of home grown apples in the kitchen and some fresh eggs in the fridge. It was a thoughtful gesture and we immediately felt welcome.
The house itself is absolutely stunning. It's beautiful inside and outside. It's well put together with all the furniture and decor fitting very well together. It felt like the whole design of the house was very well thought through.
Besides, it had everything we needed and more! In the kitchen we found various glasses, mugs, plates, cutlery, cutting boards, pots and pans, a toaster oven, blender, tea, coffee and a coffee grinder, french press, mixer, and even an iron! The bathroom was stocked the fresh towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner, and a hair dryer. The bed upstairs was so comfortable, it felt like we were sleeping in the clouds. And of course, the house has a wood stove, by which we spent every evening, lounging on the sofa covered in blankets with some wine and snacks watching movies.
The territory around the house is stunning. There are lots of huge beautiful trees and a pond. Some sheep came by to hide from the rain under the cover by the house one evening. They were very friendly and let us pet them. We also saw some goats and chickens hang out in the nearby enclosure. Every day, we had deer walk by the house. It felt incredible to be placed right at the centre of this natural tranquil paradise.
We wish we stayed for another couple of nights. We are definitely planning to come back and are already looking at the dates in 2023 :)
