The open feel of the floorplan and windows was breathtaking. Waking up to misty trees was so relaxing. YES, you're near the freeway and yes, the noise does carry, but it was a 'white noise' not a 'race track' noise and it was a non-issue for us. This space was great to reconnect with some family and friends and to linger. It's the sort of place you don't want to just crash at, you should plan on staying and never leaving unless it's to get groceries and return to.
