Summary: Very much enjoyed our stay and the unique set up of this cabin. The external sleeping quarters was ideal for storing our things to both leave the main house cluttered. Everything was clean and exactly as described. Blinds or window coverings in the main room would have been nice, but the olive oil and extra touches made it feel like home. We will be back!
