"Además de lo espectacular que es el lugar con sus jardines y vista, su personal es bien servicial. Bien atentos y hasta el jardinero dejó de hacer su trabajo para ayudarnos con las maletas ya que el lugar tiene muchas escaleras. Y el jardinero por supuesto continuó con sus labores.

Stunning 4 Bedroom Large House, Steps from Lake Front with Starlink WiFi

10/10 Excellent
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is very unique with outstanding views and beautiful gardens. The house was very large and far more than we needed for 3 people. I would say that this is not a place to stay if you have young children . Stairs are open and the second floor porch is beautiful but nothing to stop a child from going over the edge. Great place for adults. The host was excellent about communicating check in , location, details about getting to the property. Outstanding!I loved this place. I truly had a hard time leaving"
