My sister and I got to spend a rainy few days in The Aerial. What a way to completely slow down and unwind. The cabin was cosy, the scenery was beautiful.

Very quiet, super clean, and gorgeous surroundings. The highlight was definitely the large bath tub with a big window looking out at the trees.
