A Sweet Get-Away
It was an amazing place, tranquil, quiet, private, and convenient. It was exactly as advertised. The steps to the bedroom were also as advertised. They were, as they said, steep, but the owners did everything they could to ensure our safety, and the bed was so comfy with great views. The hot tub was a welcome sight after a long drive, and watching the sheep run through the sprinkler was both entertaining and very sweet. We hope to come back soon.

Refreshing Respite
Our stay was wonderful despite all the rain. The casita was cozy and well stocked. Our hosts were great at communicating check in and directions. The bed was very comfy. We recommend walking backwards and treating the stairs like a ladder when you come down. Otherwise, everything was perfect! Our stay was serene and just what we needed. We look forward to staying again when we next visit the area. Thank you!

Feels like you are in the country, but only a short drive from the middle of town.
We loved the property other than the steep stairs. But the location was perfect! Very peaceful

Comfortable and clean
Would highly recommend this for a young couple, since it has some steep stairs. The space was clean and beautiful. It has everything you need and the hot tub was amazing. While the owners live on the property, we never felt bothered by them. The sheep are very cute!!! Overall, a great experience.
