Richard went above and beyond any expectations we could have! He made our stay very memorable and unique. He is very kind, thoughtful and is a living proof of how a real host should be by not just providing a place to sleep but so much more. He cooked for us, prepared rich breakfast every morning, made sure we had everything we needed and prepared us for our Tongarino Alpine Crossing adventure. We wouldn't have made it without his advice considering how bad the weather turned out. The house is really unique and very well maintained. Richard is on it with multiple projects on improving it and keeping it authentic. From the pickup music to the overall atmosphere, we very much enjoyed our stay with Richard and Bella, his adorable dog. We wish we are able to come back someday! Thank you so much for everything!
