Ukraine 2, or optimal stopping

Yesterday in the Ukraine, having seen multiple roadside ads for hot springs and spas, we decided to find one. The dream was a nice log house on a mountainside with a view of the sunset. We searched for 3 hours. This included a 20-km detour on a road that was a strong contender in our internal competition for the worst road of the trip. Norman said it was parkour, not riding. But all the places were closed, fully booked, didn't exist, or differed significantly from what was advertised. When exhausted, we finally settled in a grandmother-style guesthouse down in the valley with this view (the window was so small and near the floor I had to kneel to take the picture):

Today however, we stopped early at the first sign including the words "sauna" and "pool", and here I am on our balcony enjoying the sunset after the sauna and swim. Yes, it's a log house.
