Beautiful Retreat

First of all it’s a beautiful house, very warm & inviting. I loved the vibes & decor. It’s a great getaway in the woods, secluded from everywhere. I would definitely come back. My only complaint is better communication with the host regarding some issues with my stay.

A beautiful very windy 5-mile drive down a mostly one-lane road from the freeway to the home, which is very clean and cozy. We had a great stay.

House is good and in good condition. The problem is that ir is extremely difficult to get with one lane road for both direction and on the side of a mountain and narrow. There were no warning the posting to that fact. Secondly, property is extremely difficult to find, however, after we found it the place was clean and in good condition. the problem is that the TV does not work with regular channels, DVD player is extremely difficult to figure out, Draperies are hanging on the floor - with the price one pay for this property, one would expect to have a regular draperies instead of a white sheet as blinds.Far away from grocery stores ir any stores if ine forget to bring something. Other than that, the stay was very nice and quiet. I propsed to my girlfriend and she said YES!Thank you
