Absolutely beautiful! Had everything we needed. Great location! Close to everything but very private. Loved the little drive through the trees. Enjoyed playing rummikub and cat lady with the family. We enjoyed watching the hummingbirds during the day and stargazing at night. Owners are very kind and gave us suggestions of places to go. Can't wait to go back!
