This property is a gem and was such a delightful surprise, nestled in the most beautiful mountain panoramic setting. It was simply paradise and a wonderful place to relax and unwind after a busy travel schedule. in addition, the owner Alleyn was such a welcoming and interesting host. We would have enjoyed spending more time talking with her.

    1. Location. Very serene and quiet. It is a very good place to rest after a hectic day. 2. Staff - very friendly, helpful, and hospitable. I checked in past 11PM and missed dinner, but the lady at the reception was kind enough to guide me where I got food that late. 3. Rooms - Although I booked a double room, I got a single instead, but nonetheless, it was spacious and very clean.

    The price is just perfect... Rooms are good and breakfast as well. It's definitely the best deal in town. So i recommend it even if i had to put a bad rate to make people from the hotel understand that they need to make people show some respect for the customers who want to sleep at night.
