What a wonderful experience! Michael's house is gorgeous, both inside and out. We very much enjoyed the mountain view from the covered deck (especially just after sunset - wow!) and were equally impressed with his beautiful garden which was full of flowers, herbs and tomatoes. The inside of the house is lovely as well - very nicely finished and extremely well stocked (if you're planning on staying home to cook any meals, Michael has just about any kitchen tool you might need). Very nice bathrooms, comfortable beds and interesting art all over the house.
As a host, Michael was fabulous - he met us upon our arrival, gave us a house tour and showed us how everything worked. He was very responsive and helpful with any questions that we had along the way.
Overall, it was an excellent experience - only wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend!
