Beautiful and Near Wedding
We had a wonderful stay during our two nights in the area for a wedding. The location was very easy to find and access, and we appreciated how clean and comfortable everything was. Although the layout required going through one of the rooms to reach two others, it worked out perfectly for us with our two kids. We also visited several other rentals where our family and friends were staying, and we truly felt that ours was the best choice. Thank you for providing such a lovely experience!

New Years weekend getaway
The property and house was perfect for our family celebrating New Years. The large kitchen and family room was great for accommodating 8 adults, 2 dogs and a 5 month old. Communication was great with the Host as well. The only thing to mention was that you have to go thru one bedroom to get to the other two bedrooms and additional bathroom. We were with family so it wasn't a problem for us. Would definitely stay again.

Great Experience, Weird Layout
Our host was great and very responsive. We had a great time at our staff retreat. I would definitely stay there again. This house is perfect for two couples or one family with kids. It worked for what we were doing, but with only 2 bathrooms, and a strange layout, it was a bit weird for our group. The living room and kitchen are wonderful! Bedroom 1 is beautiful and has a private bathroom and balcony. It feels like a true retreat facility. Bedroom 2 is nice but strangely it doubles as a hallway to the rest of the house (bathroom 2 and bedrooms 3 & 4). Bedrooms 3 & 4 are nice and private, but you have to walk through bedroom 2 to access them. In addition, all 3 of those bedrooms share one bathroom. There is no real general-use bathroom. Overall, the house was clean, private, and functional. Everything worked great for us. Despite the strange layout, I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Such an amazing property
We were in town for my daughters wedding and stayed at this beautiful property for the 2 nights leading up to the wedding. From the moment I opened the front door the warmth and peacefulness of the home hit me. Surrounded by gorgeous scenery the house is full of huge windows and slider doors that truly make you feel like you are in the nature itself. The large living room and kitchen were so spacious and served as a wonderful gathering place for us to enjoy the time together. I would highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone visiting Julian and I know I would definitely stay here again!!
