Country living

The house is lovely and set up for a group of guests to really enjoy r&r and spending time with each other. The home is cozy overall, the jacuzzi and sauna were a nice bonus. The views are great. There is a lot of wildlife to listen to at night- wolves, bobcats and frogs were aplenty.
