When we arrived for our two night stay, Michael was there to meet us at the door. After a pleasant greeting, he gave us the grand tour of his amazing property which included instructions on how to feed the emus and the koi, and enter the aviary. He also showed us how to use the jacuzzi by the pool in the public space and also the one on our private deck. When we went inside, he showed us how to use the Tivo, which works on both the living room and bedroom televisions, and told us to call him if we needed anything. The beautiful interior has lots of really cool custom wood and tile finish work and huge windows to let in lots of light and give great views of the property, not to mention there is a huge shower and well stocked kitchen. The sound from the birds in aviary almost makes it seem as though you're staying in a tropical tree house while the sun is up. There were some construction sounds going on while we were there but it didn't have any effect on our ability to enjoy what we can only described as a great experience.
