A wonderful place for friends from afar to gather. We had a lovely stay and would love to come back. Lots of space for kids to run around and beautiful surroundings.

We spent two nights in this peaceful retreat. The place is beautiful and relaxing. Great for hiking. The house is well-equipped and very clean. The nice surprise was the eggs from the chicken coop offered by Nicole... :-) excellent... I also thank Nicole for her warm welcome and her speed in answering my questions. We'll be happy to go back. I would highly recommend it.

The Farmhouse is a character-filled, spacious and comfortable spot for quiet getaways in a truly beautiful part of the country. The hosts are friendly and responsive, and kept fireplaces clean and well-stocked, something especially appreciated in the colder evenings. Walks up to the base of the mountain are recommended for some spectacular views. Access to the property is by about 15km of a dirt road that is quite stony in parts and that requires careful navigation if you have a lower-slung vehicle, but is very manageable regardless.
