This home is very open. Which we love. We have stayed in a treehouse in Volcano. This home reminds me of that only with a lot more room. The view is great and can be enjoyed no matter the weather. I was raised in the country so I love the"barnyard" noises. I am a swimmer by nature therefore I loved the resistance pool!!! very awesome!!! I had a couple questions which I got a FAST response on!! Thank you!!!
