A relaxing retreat

My family had a wonderful time at the property. The five of us were able to lounge around together in the living room or the the outside seating areas. The property feels remote, but is near enough to major roads to make travel fairly easy. And its fun to see the goats and horses watching us as we entered or left the property.

Beautiful Views

The house and guest house were great. Main was a 2/2, kitchen, dining, living room. The guest house was a 1/1 with a kitchen, living and dining as well. The mountainous views were great and the goats and ponies always greeted us everytime we stepped outside. Would definitely stay there again.

Nice Place

Nice clean space. Lots of traffic noise at night, but other than that it was nice. Well suited for a family in the main house. The bedroom with the two double beds isn't suited well for adults. Overall it was nice space though.
