Absolutely loved staying. The house is beautiful and homely, and you can turn on heaters to keep cozy. I felt like I had my own space to do my own thing (i.e. read, write go on walks), but didn't feel isolated. One of the highlights was having Keri's pancakes (topped with berries and persimmons!) one morning out on her deck, whilst watching the sun rise over the valley. I also ended up buying one of Keri's art pieces (a little house) that I saw lying around. Would highly recommend this if you're looking for a nice quiet retreat.
