He consistently answered my questions within minutes and offered great advice. Oz Cathedral is in a unique spot with breathtaking long views of the mountains and, if you're lucky, beautiful sunsets. The house has a well equipped kitchen and outside grill. The beds and living room are comfortable and the gas fireplace is a treat. ##### Rick B.
