This was a beautiful peaceful place nestled in the mountains. It was a relief to come home to such a quiet place. The hosts were fabulous and always available. The refrigerator was stocked with refreshing beverages. And, the bed was extremely comfortable. We loved staying here and would recommend it to anyone!
