This unique property is part of the signature Sayles Ranch Guesthouses, that have been hosting guests since 2004.

Country lovin

We loved our stay in this rustic western vibe home. It felt like a cabin getaway. The beds were so comfortable I slept so good every night. Only thing is the master queen bed is high off the ground so I needed to find a stepstool for my short legs but the comfort was worth it! The inclosed patio was so relaxing during early morning coffee drinking. Too hot in the summer weather but I imagine it’s perfect during spring or fall. I was actually sad checking out today it felt like I was leaving home. Till next time ….
