My earlier review was for a different place! My corrected review for Milligan Retreat is that it was a very nice place to spend the night. The hosts were away but instructions on using electricity were very easy and we appreciated the trust of these hosts. We also enjoyed Flash. the friendly cat. Very nice place!
