We loved our stay here - a cozy, clean, comfortable and warm house on a cold long weekend. The aspect to the surrounding Blackall Range was beautiful. The detached games room with large TV, table tennis and pool table was a recipe for great family fun. Outdoor firepit topped off our wonderful stay. Thanks for everything!
