It's a really fun traditional style guest house. Both a positive and a negative: the restrooms are outside, but it's a nicely done stone/gravel path with a pretty wood floored restroom/shower area. It would be a bit brisk in the winter (no problem in December 2019 but it has been a bit warm) but I would definitely recommend it for spring/summer/fall.
