"This is a perfect getaway far, far from city lights. Bring lots of groceries and you never have to leave the property. Pool and hot tub were amazing, outdoor grill and bar were great and the indoor kitchen was a chef’s dream. WiFi was very good too. House was very clean and sheets and towels top of the line. Jet tub, walk in rain forest shower were greatly appreciated. Owners were very responsive to any request. Highly recommend this property"

Unique Off-Grid experience with Stunning Views Close to Wine Tasting

10/10 Excellent
"Traveled with my husband and pup and this was a really nice and unique place to check out on our road trip. We really enjoyed the quiet location, the super comfortable bed (!!!) and the amenities on site, which we enjoyed using (hot tub, fire pit, grill - all worked great)! Really fun to be next to a sheep/goat pen and to watch the goat climb the tree! The road driving up to this location was insane though; very steep, twisty an narrow, but after doing it a few times, we got more comfortable with it. My only issue was that we had a bit of an ant problem in/around the refrigerator, and the can of bug spray on site was empty. We contacted the owner about it, but unfortunately it was also a holiday weekend and we know people were not as available (not a big deal and we connected later), but we ended up just dealing with it on our own...not a perfect solution and was a constant problem during the majority of our stay. Other than that, this rental was wonderful! Great view across a valley, quiet location, and a beautiful starry sky at night! Worth checking out, just remember, you are in an RV and sometimes bugs happen."

Oak Treehouse Retreat

Oak Treehouse Retreat

8/10 Good
"A beautiful and quiet, albeit remote location. The outdoor space for our dog was perfect. We enjoyed being in the home but it is not for those who would be doing a great deal of in and out. It takes 20 mins, on very windy roads, to get to the nearest town. We appreciated the kuerig and provided pods. Other than salt and pepper there were no other culinary basics or laundry detergent. Lovely hot tub, firepit and gas stove inside. The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows."

"Amazing property with tons of space for my friends and pups to hang out for the week! The rooms were spotless and there was more than enough space for 5 adults and two dogs. We spent most of our time at the pool or in the living room doing crafts. The kitchen had everything we needed for food preparation, so we could cook all of our meals. The only slight setback was the windy road on the drive in. We opted to stay on property the whole time to avoid motion sickness! "
