The mountain retreat is clean, modern, spacious, comfortable in all ways, and Barbara has the apartment furnished and stocked with so many thoughtful touches to make your stay easy and comfortable. We stayed for 8 days and our hosts were kind and hospitable, and while it is close proximity and on-site of their own home, the apartment is also very private if that's what you require. In our time we found everything very homey and she made some added accommodations to ensure our stay was enjoyable and we had everything we needed. The Mandeville Canyon area is also such a gem, and the proximity you get to attractive sights, activities and areas is top notch! I would love the opportunity to stay again.
