I’m not sure how, but this property was even more stunning than the photos! The beautifully landscaped yard was serene, the pool was amazing. It was nice to relax in the hot tub after a day exploring. The view is phenomenal. House was large and well appointed. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would love to one day return

Amazing property
What a wonderful spot to spend a week. Very removed from the day to day. The views are fantastic. The pool is huge and the entire outdoor space is well thought out with many spots to gather or quietly curl up with a book.
While not a new house, we found the property spotless. Surrounded by horse farms it’s a desert oasis. Bill and Nicole were both readily available to assist with nearby hiking spots and even enlisted a friend to provide fishing recommendations. We were amazed to have an owl come visit us a few times, keeping a watchful eye as we frolicked in the pool.
We will definitely be back and highly recommend this wonderful property.
