It was a very beautiful and unique property. Everyone in our all adult group enjoyed it immensely. (Though I do not think it would work well for those with very young children or people with mobility issues.)

This was a perfect house for our family’s reunion. It was super clean and large enough to comfortably accommodate everyone. It had everything we needed for a relaxing and peaceful stay. The surrounding hills were beautiful and the grounds were breathtaking and very well maintained. We loved waking up to the beautiful views everyday. Our host was super polite and courteous and communication with them was easy with a quick responses time. We highly recommend this place.

We booked this amazing property for our son’s rehearsal. The wedding was nearby at Mt. Woodson. With lots of out of state family coming for the wedding this property provided enough bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate all. The serene and beautiful spaces really made the event spectacular. The pools and landscaping allowed guests to spread out and find the perfect spot to enjoy the wonderful views. The website pictures are accurate and our guests were taking photos of their own to capture their stay. Communication with our host was fast and always professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it all over again!

Views you’ll never forget!

Everything you see in the online pictures and more. Spectacular sunrises and superb sunsets. Pools better suited for looking at than swimming in, but with one pool big enough to cool off in. I’d be hesitant to bring young children because of the use of natural rock to navigate the pools, and any trips and falls would be painful. But the house has everything we needed, the grounds are gorgeous, the property manager is incredibly responsive and check in and check out are as easy as we’ve ever seen. We hated to leave!
