What a wonderful bed and breakfast we happened upon! The bed and linens were superb, the views spectacular, and that breakfast…omg! Fresh blueberry pancakes, amazing sausage, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, and my favorite, a goat milk latte. Gina was an amazing host.

Our stay here was wonderful. We came here as a little weekend getaway for our anniversary. Our room in the lodge was so cute and super clean. Gina and her husband were wonderful and accommodating. They made us delicious homemade breakfast and coffee.
