Our stay was fabulous! My family are older folks; there were 5 of us staying. My brother (71), my mother (95) and myself (70) stayed in the main house and my daughter and fiancé (40's) stayed in the casita. They loved the charming casita which was nicely done up and very cozy. The main house was beautifully decorated inside as was the landscaped outdoors. Loved the pool and hot tub. We used the out door fireplace a couple of nights as well. It was like staying in a 5 star plus resort! The bathrooms were large and well appointed. Beds were comfortable and all the rooms were so lovely; very clean. We loved the patios around the house, nice areas tucked away to relax in. The two one car garages were perfect for us and both had the EV chargers in them, though our car didn't use them it was a nice modern feature. The neighborhood is safe and a very nice area. Erin made sure our stay was trouble free from start to finish. We Would definitely stay here again!
