We enjoyed the property. We loved how cozy the house was and all the extra touches like the coffee bar were wonderful. We gave it 4 stars because there was a lot of dog waste in the backyard and we were bummed to find no shampoo in the showers but other than that it was wonderful!

This place met our needs on all levels. My mother had a bedroom on the main floor, as well as a bathroom, which was nice, since she can't do stairs very well. We enjoyed family time in the cozy living area, watching movies and talking. The views were beautiful, and it was so peaceful. I'd definitely recommend this home!

The location was great. The HUGE fenced in yard was paradise for our pupster and we couldn’t drag my son away from the fire pit. Easy access, fast communication and plenary of room inside and out makes this one a keeper for us. We will definitely be back.
