I cannot say enough great things about this location, this pool, and the INCREDIBLE view! I hosted a weekend friends' reunion here in November, and the experience was phenomenal. You won't want to spend much time away from the beautiful outdoor space, but if you do, then it's an short drive to great restaurants nearby, and only about 30 minutes from downtown. If you absolutely can't tear yourself away from the view, then the home easily accommodates preparing and serving large meals - we had 6 in our group, but we would have been just as comfortable with 10 or 12! The beds were soft and almost all bedrooms have direct access to one of the decks. There are many rooms around the house with plenty of space for your group to lounge with a cocktail, and most of these have large windows that frame even more wonderful views. Basically, if you want to spend a quiet weekend where you feel like you're out in nature but in reality aren't more than a short drive from anything you would need, I can't think of a better place to stay. To top it all off, communication was always prompt and everything was prepared exactly as described and requested. Based on the research I did, the property is also an excellent value for the area. I look forward to returning in the future!
