Gwen and Mani were really nice hosts, it was a really pleasant stay. You can always ask them, if you need anything and they will help you. The surrounding area was great for mountain hikes, especially if you are looking for quiet place to stay. The work was easy and not very hard, mostly cleaning and painting.
