We enjoyed the views and the quiet. We hiked trails, explored the small town and the sand dunes. My only suggestion is bring something for the smell
(candle, plug-in, etc).smelsmell.

We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay, Angela. Good suggestion for when the earthy scent in the attached solarium gets caught upstairs with windows closed. Travel safely, we appreciate you!
The area was remote yet full of interesting activities for family. We really enjoyed the remoteness for star gazing with kids which gave us a great opportunities for amazing pictures. And day time exploring for wildlife and near by waterfalls and creeks to cool off. Place had everything we needed for comfort with great views and spacious for our family. Very interesting place and not too difficult to find and near by town for dining.

Great property for off-the-grid living
The location (mountain view) was absolutely beautiful. Owners were responsive and check-in was easy. But there are some things to note if you plan on staying here. First, it was hot. It is above a greenhouse and the entire living space was in the mid-80's when we checked in. It didn't cool down until after midnight. Also, the beds and floors had significant amounts of cat hair on them. Unfortunately, at least 2 of our family members are allergic to cats and we needed to check out early.
