We spent four nights here. It is a lovely house to stay in, with well appointed rooms and a combined living/dining area that flows nicely onto a raised back deck and barbecue area.. The planting of natives is thoughtful and cocoons the house from most directions. There are many nice touches such as puzzles, cds, games and toys that would help if stuck inside with kids. The firepit has a low wall around around it to sit on, and sitting around the fire was a very enjoyable way to spend a cold evening. Wishing any and all of you a great holiday!
