Absolutely perfect!
We LOVED our stay here and wish we’d rearranged some things to be there longer. It is spotless, well stocked, well laid out, and just cute as can be. It’s within an easy drive of so much wonderful stuff to do and the location is quiet and beautiful. It was perfection.

Awesome property & location
Hostess very nice & accommodating. A little outside of inverness(so quieter & less crowded). Yet, it’s not far from inverness for shopping, restaurants, and attractions. 3 full king sized bedrooms & bathrooms. Could accommodate up to 3 couples comfortably. I would highly recommend this place! 💞
