"Boutique summarizes this trailer perfectly. It was charming and had so much attention paid to detail. Wonderful amenities, including a spa like bath house- a bath equipped better than most hotels. The covered patio area and deck were a great place to enjoy the view (lavender garden too) and relax. Even a fireplace to warm the chilly nights. What we appreciated so much was the lighting along the deck and around the trailer for both comfort and safety. The owner and manager were both very friendly...
