This beautifully appointed Hideout suite, with its incredibly well thought out floor plan, comes with a small but complete kitchen, stacked washer/dryer, comfy sitting room with fire heater, table, chairs, and a carafe with a bit of Port in it to put a lovely finish on your day. Complete with a comfortable king bed, pillows and crisp linens, my husband and I could've stayed much longer had we not had other plans. It was an unexpected pleasure to arrive and find this new suite available for our use. Thank you, Gina, at the Blue Summit Hideaway!
