The host was great. Very communicative. The property is as described, minus the smokey aroma. We loved the setting. The donkey and chickens just outside woke us up and we really enjoyed that. We had driven quite a ways when we got to the place and we were excited for the stay. The smell of smoke was evident immediately. The only reason we stayed is that I have fallen asleep while driving in the past and wasn't going to risk my wife and newborn.
