Relaxing days and quiet nights

We had the perfect time. The house is comfortable and the pool is great. The hosts are wonderful and live in a separate suite. We felt like we had the place to ourselves to walk the farm, see the horses and relax. Westminster has a small downtown with good restaurants. We are thrilled we found this gem in the hills.
