This Rio Dell house was truly a diamond in the rough or should I say, literally in the side of a hill. It offered so much charm within it self and the sunrise views were insanely beautiful. It was well equipped with just about anything you might need. I loved that the “house book” was personalized with specific details about most areas in the house, guiding me through out my stay- aiming to ensure fun, pleasure, and comfort. The owners included things and places they loved in and around the area, specifically their top 10 things to do list. Super beneficial including favorite coffee spots, breakfast and dinner options near by. Owner was also super attentive to my needs - with quick response time. Would love to stay again.
