Very cute and lively place. would definitely recommend to all those who have cars. The owners were friendly and helpful. There are a lot of stairs so be careful with luggage. Also, don't think there was a/c in the room, but nights are not too bad over there since it is by the lake.

We had room #10, which is a triple room on the end of the third level. Be aware that there is no elevator, so you will need to... More
