Overall, Maggie’s place was great! Our family of seven (and one toddler) came in with an expectation of a peaceful and relaxing getaway. That goal was accomplished. I would say that one of the primary appeals to our family was remoteness and tranquility. If someone is looking for extra amenities and things to do in the area they will likely be disappointed. Anything worthy of visiting (except for Vino in the Valley) is a 30-minute drive. Maggie didn’t oversell these things, but I can see how someone with an activity mindset might be underwhelmed with "nothing to do." That was a joy for us. (Note – If it is a nice weather day be sure to allow plenty of time to experience Vino in the Valley. We arrived to find a 2-hour wait.)
We also appreciated the cleanliness and general decor of the home. Each room had the restored charm and character of a 1940s farm home. The renovated bathrooms were on trend and nicely done. The kitchen is fully equipped and utilitarian for any type of meal prep.
The sunrises and sunsets were amazing... as well as the crystal clear stars at night around the firepit. A far-fetched desire would have been to have cows or horses to look at in the nearby field. 😊
