We had a wonderful family vacation at Bruce's place and he was a wonderful host. It was definitely like staying in a treehouse (all the wood is so beautiful). The kitchen/living area is AMAZING (I can't stress AMAZING enough)!! The sliding glass panels move back to completely open up the space to the outdoors and the incredible views. The driveway was daunting during the first trip down, but you quickly get used to it. The area is very quiet filled with sounds of nature. There isn't a lot of "insulation" and the house is very open to the outdoors, so it's best if people are on the same schedule. The resident gecko's were such fun to watch (not intrusive), the beds were very comfortable, and the house had everything we needed to be comfortable and prepare some quick and healthy meals for our family. We had 8 family members, including four of our young adult "kids". They were able to enjoy bonding and making new memories with their cousins on the deck in the evenings. We absolutely hated to leave and I would love to experience this wonderful home again someday!!
