This Property is great for small family reunions, small church retreats, friend's gatherings, small business retreats, and other peaceful, quiet getaways.

This property is professionally cleaned with attention to detail before each guest arrives.
If you want to get away from the business and the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this is the place for you. We have the best of both worlds because the property is rural and peaceful, and yet you can get down to the city in less than 30 minutes, where you can find most anything you’ll need.
This home is on 35 peaceful acres with three man-made ponds and hiking or mountain biking through oak groves with large granite rocks. The two smaller ponds are near the house, and the largest pond can be reached by vehicle or a moderate hike. Natural stream water from the property flows into this pond via a peaceful waterfall feature. An adobe kitchen area overlooks this large pond and features a sink, small refrigerator, canopy with firepit and a propane and wood or charcoal BBQ.
The 6,250 sf Tudor home has lots of character and charm. Stunning sunset views can be viewed from the backyard most of the year. And during the day, views of the valleys and surrounding hills go on forever. Relax in the back yard around the firepit and Bar Be Que on a propane, wood or charcoal BBQ. At dust, wait for the beautiful sunsets, then after dark, take in the majesty of the star-filled skies. There’s also nothing like an evening in a rural area when there is a full moon, as it illuminates the darkness. The sound of coyotes makes for beautiful evening music.
The main floor of the house has a large kitchen with two islands, two sinks and a double oven, and a large dinning/family room with wood-burning fireplace. One full bathroom, one powder room, and a laundry room are also on the main floor.
The second floor has a large master suite with a king size bed, a jacuzzi tub and its own balcony. Two more bedrooms occupy the second floor as well as a separate dorm room with 8 twin beds. An additional balcony is located off a common hallway for all to share.
Beneath the main floor is an 1800 sf, partially subgrade, granny suite with access from the main house and its own separate entrance. The large bedroom has a king size bed and additional beds, a living/entertainment room with a wood-burning fireplace, a small kitchen, and a full bathroom. A table can be used to hand out and talk or, flip it over and play poker and then try a game of bumper pool.
Quiet hours are 10:00 p.m.- 8:00 a.m.
The owners and managers live on adjacent properties.

Host was very welcoming and kept us updated with information. All amenities were in great shape, and the extra gas cylinders for the fire pit was greatly appreciated because of the cold weather conditions.

We are glad your group had a good time again. We will see you in fall.
The hosts, Art and Karen, were very responsive to any questions or concerns that I had. And they made the home feel very welcoming.The property itself was beautiful and a great place to stay. The rooms were clean and spacious for my whole group to feel relaxed and comfortable. The kitchen was great to use for cooking our meals. The living area was wonderful to use for gathering all of us or for just hanging out. And the backyard was nice and spacious to play games and see the sunset. My group and I had a great and restful time! Would definitely love to come back!

Thank you for your kind words, Aaron. We are glad your group had a great time at our property. Hopefully you will be able to come stay again.
Wow - this property is amazing. We took our high school ministry here for a retreat and it was the best retreat we’ve ever done! The house is gorgeous and the views are unreal. So much space to relax. The house is clean - there were towels and bedding for all the fold outs. Karen (our host) was amazing and gave out all the info I needed ahead of time as well as was able to answer some questions while we were on sight. 10/10 recommend for whatever group you’re taking here. You won’t regret it!

Thank you for such a wonderful review, James. We are so glad you had a great time at our property. We hope you are able to bring your church group back again next year.
Amazing property for family gathering. We rented this property to celebrate Thanksgiving under one roof with our large family. The property is immaculately clean, well stocked, magical and serene. The views are breathtaking. Adults and kids from 6 to 18 enjoyed everything about this space. There are so many hidden surprises throughout the property. Karen was excellent with communication and very kind. We hope to have another celebration at this property in the future.

Thank you for all your kind words, Erin. We are so glad that your Thanksgiving gathering was a special time at our property. Come back again...
We had a great time. Art and Karen were so helpful and welcoming and warm throughout the whole booking, check-in and checkout process. They were also so accommodating for our relatively large group. The grounds are kept so well, our group had a great time outside. Inside the house was also so beautiful. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with different cooking supplies and also cooking hardware and utensils. Our group lacked nothing. We would definitely want to stay here again.

Thanks for your kind words, Stephanie. We were happy to have your group back this year and we hope that you will come back again next year for your church retreat.
Art and Karen have the most incredible property and have extended their hospitality to our group for two years now. This place provided the much needed space for our church group to rest, fellowship, meditate, and overall have a great weekend together. We highly recommend this place if you are looking for a relaxing property for any large group!

We couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect location to have our wedding. What a beautiful place! With picturesque views of stunning valleys views! Our friends and family are still raving about our big day! We had a range of accommodation options for our guests. There are very nice rooms in the house, with a variety of amenities. Everything was very organized and the attention to detail that was puts into the property truly shows! The beauty this property holds makes it the perfect place to plan a once in a lifetime of events! I don't know how to say thank you enough for Karen and Art!
