Great Property

We had a great stay. The house and property are even prettier than the pictures. The kitchen was well appointed and even had an espresso machine. Views were spectacular and a short drive into town.

Excellent accommodations. And yes the views actually look like the pictures, no creative photoshop going on here. If you can afford it go for it. This would be perfect for two families sharing, or one large family. Bring groceries as outside of coffee there's pretty much nothing else in the place.
