Lettie believes that her homestay gives visitors a broader view about the way of life, culture, history and the feel of this forestry community as well as an opportunity to taste the local food. Four people can be accommodated. There is electricity, but no running water, so Lettie provides warm water to wash in. There is an outside toilet, with a seat and is kept very clean. The house is close to a lovely walk along the river, and there are plenty of walking trails in the mountains nearby.
