Amazing Views

We arrived shortly before sunset and were awe inspired at the long range mountain views from this location. The home was very clean and well kept, but the views from the living room and outside deck were amazing and that is where we spent the majority of our stay. If you want a peaceful escape with exceptional mountain views, this is the place.
