Mark's place was exactly as described! plus a few bonus surprises! you can hear the distant calls of farm/wild animals, but not the annoying kind of sound, the calming kind of sound that tells you that you are truly among nature. while having breakfast on the balcony or in the hot tub (which could be adjusted to be cooler for the 40 deg heat), the (?)ducks/geese would come as if waiting for us to feed it. The outdoor hot tub was just perfect for admiring the alpacas, parrots, and ducks which would walk by every now and then. already making plans to return during winter!
