Wonderful Place in an excellent location.
Wonderful Place in an excellent location, place needs a spring cleaning. We enjoyed our weekend stay at Michael's home. Beautiful views when it wasn't raining or hazy. Hot tub, sauna and pool table were a hit with the college students and child. Items that need attention: Gas grill (regulator issues), Recliner broken (upstairs), DVD didn't work (upstairs) and the Espresso maker (leaks). No complaints with sleeping accommodations. The driveway was a challenge for our two-wheel drive vehicles, but we made it to the reward at the top. Wish we could have stayed longer with better weather. We definitely recommend staying there, you won't want to leave. Michael, Thank you for the opportunity.
