Loved every minute of our stay. The owners reached out several times to make sure all was well and to see if we needed anything. Even brought us a lovely bottle of wine (after asking if ok to stop by). The house is beautiful and well stocked for all needs. Spacious enough for a large group but comfortable for just a couple. The backyard..... how to describe the best amenities you could ever dream of?! The pool was the perfect temperature, the putting green led to many contests, the hot tub felt amazing after many hikes, the gazebo-what a perfect place to watch March Madness, the fenced in yard-ideal for the dog, the pizza oven resulted in a fun make your own pizza night. I could go on and on and would 100% recommend this property. My only regret is that it is already booked for next March!! Thank you Steve and Tatiana for sharing your lovely home!!
