Wow, this was definitely one of my most memorable and best Airbnb stays!!
First of all, Amy and Jason are so incredibly warm and kind. I made a really last minute instant booking and so they didn’t have much time to prep, but they were so efficient at getting everything set up and I saw how meticulously Jason cleaned down the hot tub which was very reassuring!
Not gonna lie I booked the place because of the hot tub stargazing but unfortunately it was a full moon so I couldn’t see the dark dark skies. However it was still a LOVELY experience! It was so quiet and serene at night. Do give the hot tub enough time to get really hot. I recommend getting in only when it’s around 38 degrees C and just keep adding firewood every 12 mins to keep it hot. Fits 2 people if you’re traveling with your significant other!
The place sleeps 4, but one of the beds was a sofa bed. It was a little bit of a squeeze, but still comfortable enough to sleep on and the rest of the cottage, despite being small ish, had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. So cosy and inviting. Acoustic guitar, board games, speaker and record player for us to use. Very thoughtful.
We went during tail end of winter. The house also heats up real quick with the fireplace going, so you’ll be very toasty and warm, loved it. Remember to add more firewood before going to sleep. I appreciated the privacy of the location, it’s also reassuring to have the hosts living just a stones throw away (so you know you’re not completely alone, which can be daunting). Perfect sized retreat for a couple but also doable for 4 people!
I’d like to thank Jason and Amy for going the extra mile and providing homemade breakfast spreads and bread for us. Such a genuine touch that put a smile on our faces in the morning. The jam was the best I’ve ever had. I would totally recommend this place if you love staying at “different” homes, not the usual stay but one you’ll remember for a long time.
The mountain location and views were beautiful to wake up to and be surrounded by. I also had fun bouncing on the trampoline!!! I hope I get to come back some day.
PS- you’ll see a lot of little cute rabbits on the roads to their house so look out for them and be careful when driving!
