Beautiful Retreat

First of all it’s a beautiful house, very warm & inviting. I loved the vibes & decor. It’s a great getaway in the woods, secluded from everywhere. I would definitely come back. My only complaint is better communication with the host regarding some issues with my stay.

A beautiful very windy 5-mile drive down a mostly one-lane road from the freeway to the home, which is very clean and cozy. We had a great stay.
