Helen made the stay the best. She greeted us upon arrival. We included dinner in our stay which was delicious and helpful since there are not many food options around the area. She is very generous to offer her personal home to travelers. We were recommended a hike that happened to be at the end of her street. The views from her house are amazing. A wonderful experience.
