Magical
“From the moment you step into the boat that brings you, to the time you sadly leave, you find yourself caught up in the breathtaking beauty of this enchanting oasis in the mountains. I can’t really add anything to the already glowing recommendations except to say, “Just do it!”. I’d like to say a huge “Thank you”! This beautiful, tranquil spot is even more amazing because of the people that make it so personal & caring.”
