We enjoyed our stay! It was easy access with a code. The property was in a beautiful setting, quiet and peaceful. However, if you go for a walk, be prepared to have the 3 dogs join you! The house is newer, tastefully decorated and clean. The beds were comfortable and the laundry facilities were great! The pantry has lots of shelves for storage. We'd recommend bringing white noise for the night time barking guard dogs! The piano is a beautiful instrument but needs major tuning. It would be helpful to have night lights in the bathrooms for aging parents who get up multiple times in the night. More than one cutting board in the kitchen would be nice too! I would have appreciated a wash cloth for my shower. Overall, we had a great time and these small things are easy to remedy.
PS To find the location, don't follow Google maps!!
The house was very welcoming. Was set with mountains to be seen all around it. Had all the accommodations of a hotel plus more. Enjoyed the peaceful setting! Definitely recommend this place and would go there again!
