Falling Star Lodge - A Sayles Ranch Home

Country lovin

We loved our stay in this rustic western vibe home. It felt like a cabin getaway. The beds were so comfortable I slept so good every night. Only thing is the master queen bed is high off the ground so I needed to find a stepstool for my short legs but the comfort was worth it! The inclosed patio was so relaxing during early morning coffee drinking. Too hot in the summer weather but I imagine it’s perfect during spring or fall. I was actually sad checking out today it felt like I was leaving home. Till next time ….
