Several gorgeous sunsets and sunrises during our 2-week stay. Very comfortable living in the house. Vaulted ceilings make it feel even bigger than it is. All the amenities are included. Easy access to Nelson shopping. Drive up to house is a bit steep and driveway is a little awkward, but we didn't notice after a few days. You get great exercise walking pathways in neighborhood. ##### Kent T.
