Highly recommend this property. Very nice setting with view to pond. Clean. Spacious for the 2 of us. If needed the hosts were available and both very nice and accommodating. The train does run very nearby and I - being a 'noise nut' - was somewhat concerned about this when we did our reservations. A couple times each night were were awakened by the train but both of us were quickly lulled back to sleep by it. Otherwise very quiet.
