Thank you for the wonderful review. We love that the only sounds around were birdsong and the occasional dog, with no traffic to be heard. It sounds like the perfect quiet escape, and we'd be delighted to host you again whenever your travels bring you back. The VueStay Team

The gravel road incline to the property is so steep that an all-wheel drive is a must. Property itself is nice. Cable TV is not included and you must log in with your own personal subscription service. Owner was very responsive to questions.
