If I had to sum it up in a sentence, I'd say it was as close as you could be in nature with some great creature comforts. The home was very spacious, clean, with beautiful antique decor all around the house, surround sound system in the living room and an amazing view of the mountains! It was so quiet and peaceful, I woke up to the sounds of birds and nature every morning and watched the sunset from the deck and the comfortable green recliner in the living room. I think this place would be great for couples or groups. There were bugs flying around the deck area but significantly less than I expected and nothing that bug spray couldn't handle. Very satisfied with our stay, will come back if in the area!
