Definitely almost Heaven!

We had such a wonderful stay, the place is so lovely! The views are breathtaking and we loved sitting on the patio gazing at the mountains. The owners were very hospitable and we enjoyed talking with them. We'll miss our daily puppy visits. When we come back to the area, we hope to stay again!

Just What We Needed!

It's very "challenging" to find getaway locations that accommodate wheelchair users, but this one did not disappoint! Notwithstanding the amazing and calming views and the cozy condition of everything inside, the owner made sure that we had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. My husband easily navigated inside and outside of the unit in his wheelchair, the bed was nice and firm, and the stillness of the environment was priceless! Anyone just looking to steal away for a little R&R should definitely check this place out... you'll be glad you did.

Beautiful and Relaxing Getaway

The property was even more beautiful in person and my wife and I had such a relaxing time. The owners were so friendly and welcomed us when we arrived an showed us around which was helpful. Bill gave great restaurant recommendations that we tried and loved. An excellent trip and highly recommend this property if you are looking for beauty and relaxation while still being close to restaurants, shopping wineries etc.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful location. Great view of the mountains and close to so many outdoor activities. Very clean and stocked accommodations. We talked with the host, Bill, each day. We enjoyed sharing our adventures and getting local information from him. We felt very comfortable and the location was private and great to sit out in the evening and watch the sun set.

A Heavenly Weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and upon arrival understood exactly why it’s described as ‘Almost Heaven.’ Bill is a very gracious host who greeted us when we arrived and, being well versed on the area, suggested lots of great places to visit and dine. The accommodations are as listed and makes for a clean, comfortable place to retreat for a weekend getaway. The proverbial icing on the cake is the view of the mountains which is absolutely breathtaking. We will definitely return!
