Cabins with private entrances

The kitchenette in each unit includes a refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle, toaster, coffee machine, and a full set of kitchenware. Guests can shop locally and cook, which matters when the rate starts at $367 per night.
Pet-friendly policy
Pets are welcome, and with private entrances and outdoor space on the grounds, the setup is more practical for traveling with animals than a standard hotel corridor would be.
