Wonderful home!
We stayed here a few nights and loved our stay. Spent some time in the national park which made it convenient to drive to in the early mornings. The location was perfect and the house was set up very nice. Feel lucky that we were able to stay here rather than in a lodge. Would highly recommend staying here if you are going to be in the area.
