It offers excellent amenities and ample space for multiple people. The only thing I recommend is that, if you plan to cook meals while there, check the kitchen before starting. We had some items we had to improvise for, but the things in place were fantastic. ##### April Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### dan 28 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication New facilities. Very secluded. Amazing views. Wonderful service. ##### dan Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt 1 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The pool, beds and space on the property are excellent. The kitchen is small but functional although missing some common amenities (i.e. dish towels). You can tell and appreciate that the construction is new and in relatively solid shape. There were a few items where the quality of the craftmanship was less than ideal. For example, the kitchen sink did not drain water (without debris) properly and there was a bathroom fixture that was loose. One other minor issue, even though the area is up on a hill with a beautiful view, you can hear an ample amount of road noise from cars and trucks. Even with those minor issues, the place was one that I would highly recommend to future guests. ##### Matt Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah 5 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The house and properly are very beautiful. The hot tub water was a little stale at first but once we had it open and jets flowing it was fine. The rooms are great size with clean beds. House was plenty furnished. Gate with code to get on property so plenty safe with an easy driveway and parking area. Would definitely stay again and recommend. ##### Hannah Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natallia 2 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication It's an amazing place to spend your days!
