The place is very large and spacious, well appointed and very clean. We will definitely be back. The temperature stayed below 30° for our stay which made it a good transition from winter to the high 30s temperatures at the coast. The view is stunning. ##### Karen M. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### RICHARD G. 5 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location. Great location for touring the lake and waterfalls. House very spacious with views of the lake from every room. Slightly bizarre with one red floor tile throughout and all kitchen and bathroom units matching. Kitchen sink in each bedroom. Showers good but no hot water in basins. Light switch yards from the bed in my room. Property manager outstanding; came over very late to deal with water problems. Very good value. The big draw back is that the house is part of a working farm. Chickens and bull start out at 4am, dogs bark on and off all night. Would kill for a good nights sleep. Sorry. But…hummingbirds in the garden! ##### RICHARD G. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ---
