Lumley's place is exceptionally clean. Joy received us very well and she was very kind to us. Benita is very admirable as she made us feel very comfortable and even took time to know each one is by engaging in conversation. It was such a beautiful experience. God enlarge your territory.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft

Benita hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen und uns geholfen, die Koffern die Treppe hochzutragen. Danach hat sie für uns eine Reservation für‘s Abendessen gemacht. Sie ist eine sehr herzliche und engagierte Gastgeberin. Das Zimmer ist schön gross und hat eine wunderbare Aussicht auf die umliegenden (Reb-)Berge. Leckeres FS gab es auch. Wir waren nur eine Nacht dort aber wir kommen gerne wieder.
