“Location for sure!! Gorges St Park is literally next door! And Whitewater Falls only 8 miles!! We thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing evening in the hot tub after a full day hiking!! The back porch is huge and the mini balcony out master bedroom allows a last breath of fresh air before bed! Kitchen well equipped w all the basics and the master bedroom is very spacious. Guests have access to bed/bathrooms on all levels, a real plus! Kelly is very responsive and when we needed to reach out, she got right back to us quickly!”
