The house and the view were gorgeous! Both the front and back yards felt very secluded. It was wonderful waking up and going to sleep with a view of the trees. The bench in the back was a great place to sit with a book and tea and cookies. I was surprised at how much water was in the creek. It was very nice to feel like I was way out in the woods but still be a ten minute drive to Starbucks and Roaring Camp. The wifi was great, too. I was able to stream Netflix easily.
