The views are breathtaking. We had 9 girls spend the weekend for a relaxing getaway. It was amazing. The house is small but it was perfect for us. It’s a little bit of a hike to restaurants and nearby activities, about 15-20 minute drive. But we only went to dinner Friday and stayed in Saturday so it wasn’t a big deal. We will consider staying here again next year. ##### Chelsey Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa A. Sep 8, 2025 ##### Melissa A.
