“From my reading, the hilltop setting certainly commands attention, offering a serene escape with truly expansive vistas. The genuine hospitality and the thoughtful touches, like fresh eggs from resident chickens and access to the kitchen, paint a picture of a remarkably welcoming and grounded experience. It feels like the kind of place where thoughtful hosts create a home-away-from-home, rather than just a place to stay.”
