If you are looking for a place to unwind with slow mornings and relaxed evenings and also experience the outdoors, this luxurious place is all you need. It is perfectly located and well connected. The place is surrounded by oak trees that give off a picture window from inside that you can’t miss. The front and back give a grand view of the mountains with different scenery.
You will hear the clear sound of birds chirping the whole day and the sound of water from the nearby creek, which is very pleasing, and you will feel closer to nature. The creek is within walking distance, so you can plan a picnic for a couple of hours. We also did a small excursion to the waterfalls, and it was worth exploring.
The day staff was very helpful and friendly; the owners are great hosts; they go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable and memorable; they will make you feel right at home; and they guided us with recommendations to nearby places. I also want to mention the details and amenities the owners have put in this dwelling to give an exceptional experience to the guest; it is beautifully made, everything is top-notch, and I will put some pictures to testify.
I honestly recommend this place to all my family...
