    This place felt like a refreshing oasis after our hike. We received such a warm welcome and were taken care of so well that none of us wanted to leave. The beds were comfy, the meals were large and tasty, there were warm showers, and it was a peaceful environment. The host was fantastic, even helping us arrange a taxi for the next morning. Truly wonderful people! Thank you for your kindness and hospitality.
