Norman's place is adorable, unique, and rustic. We had a great time cooking in the spacious kitchen, sitting out on the deck, and building a fire in the backyard firepit which overlooks the water. Sunset was gorgeous. Norman is the perfect host, and responded to any questions immediately. The home is very rustic, almost like "glamping". During our first night there was a huge storm and there were some minor issues - windows rattling and those sort of things. But when the sun came out the next day, the home was filled with light and was a very peaceful place to stay. My husband and I loved it. Our moms (who strongly prefer traditional hotel rooms) were a little hesitant at first, but they grew to like the stay as well.
