I highly recommend staying at the Hillside Glass House. It was quiet, secluded, but not also too far from everything. It was a great getaway while we were here visiting with family for Thanksgiving. We loved the view of the hills and our pup enjoyed getting to walk around the grounds. The house was very clean, has a well stocked kitchen for preparing meals, and the owners even left us goodies that came in handy before we could go to the grocery store. The owners were also great at communicating and accommodating. We loved it here!
