Summary: Maggie is a host who provided warm hospitality, her home made cookies and muffins are lovely. Accommodation is nice and clean, 20 minutes drive from Mansfield. No high technology, no TV/Wifi/AC... If you enjoy a quiet and peaceful place with birds dropping by, here is perfect. The only thing annoyed us are dealing with the bugs. A LOT of bugs and mosquitoes visit every night. Make sure you bring insect spray/fly catcher.
