This place will exceed your expectations in person - what is not clear in the photos is that the layout of the space is circular, with the main bed area being open and continuous with the living area/fireplace. I loved the open layout, the flow is beautiful, its wonderful to wake up to the fireplace crackling ahead of you and the garden and waterfalls and pond visible out the front windows from bed. A truly relaxing stay. As I usually stay in only entire residences disconnected from hosts, reading that this was the lower level of the hosts home gave me some pause, but I will vouch for you having no reason to worry. The hosts were helpfully responsive prior to the trip, but upon our arrival gave us 100% privacy. Though we could hear them walking upstairs occasionally, we never even saw them. Another beautiful bonus that is not pictured is their adorable vegetable garden off to the side of the pond. Thank you Dennie and Kevin for offering to share your peaceful space for the weekend. Would absolutely stay again.
