Amazing property

What a wonderful spot to spend a week. Very removed from the day to day. The views are fantastic. The pool is huge and the entire outdoor space is well thought out with many spots to gather or quietly curl up with a book. While not a new house, we found the property spotless. Surrounded by horse farms it’s a desert oasis. Bill and Nicole were both readily available to assist with nearby hiking spots and even enlisted a friend to provide fishing recommendations. We were amazed to have an owl come visit us a few times, keeping a watchful eye as we frolicked in the pool. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this wonderful property.
