"We arrived kind of late and really wanted some tea. Marguerita behind the front desk offered to boil us some in her own kitchen and then brought it out for us. Super sweet and thoughtful after a long drive. The next morning the kind Russian speaking owner gave us another kind gesture that he did NOT have to do. Great energy in this place, beautiful views and the room was romantic, clean and functional. We’ll be back!"
