Summary: This was the most comfortable cabin I've ever stayed in! I felt like I was a fairy in the emerald forest. Everything we needed was provided except shower essentials. I prefer to bring my own anyways, so that was a non existent problem. Susan was amazing! She even shared some eggs from chickens. Listening to the donkeys bray and the roosters and peacocks crowing while having my coffee on the front porch in the morning was truly magical! Thank you Susan for being a fantastic host.
