"A big piece of paradise, awesome view, friendly dog, amazing food, best hot chocolate you ever wanna drink, such friendly staff, crazy biking, really good music, a perfect home sweet home. So thank you so much" - Emilie (France)

"I forget what brought me here,
through gorge and mountain pass,
Past rivers gold like necklaces,
And rolling hills of grass,
I forget what brought me here,
by lane and path and glen,
but whatever was my reason,
I will return again..."
- Sam + Cam
