This is a unique property with a fun layout, cool art, and great views. We had four adults and each had their own bed. The property was clean, well maintained, and great for star gazing. Communication with the property owner was very good, getting a response quickly when I had questions.

This was such a great property! It was secluded, peaceful, and had everything we needed. The pool was very refreshing after a long day of hiking, and we very much enjoyed the fire pit as well. All of the spaces were immaculately clean and everything was very nicely updated. The host was wonderful and communicated with us if we needed anything. Thank you!

Gorgeous Private Property

WOW! What a fun house. We watched the sunset from the pool and turned around and watched the stars by the campfire. Really enjoyed the eye for detail in the construction of the house. You can even see the stars from your bed or while taking shower outside. We will definitely be back. PS. Thanks for letting us bring Miss Belle.
