I had the most amazing Christmas getaway at this hidden gem! The staff was incredibly accommodating, even though we arrived late. They had everything ready for us and we didn't have to interact with anyone. The private room we stayed in was lovely, with a super comfortable bed. The best part was the private deck that came with the suite. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of this place, making it the perfect escape. Plus, the location was perfect for exploring the surrounding nature.

One small disappointment was that they had fireplaces in the hostel, but we couldn't use them due to insurance reasons. It would have been nice to cozy up by the fireplace during Christmas time.
