Great Stay and Awesome Hosts
My husband and I stayed during Christmas week and the hosts were so hospitable! They have dogs and a turtle on the property which was the highlight for me. The amenities were great as well samsung tv and fridge. Perfect little get away!
My boyfriend and I needed a mini getaway fairly local to us and this place was perfect. Christopher was very informative, courteous, and kind. Could not have asked for anything better. We will definitely be staying here again!

The Perfect Getaway
My partner and I booked a 4 day stay at this property for our Anniversary and had a wonderful and relaxing time. Chris was a very knowledgeable and generous host. He provided insights on fun things to do in the area and gave us some delicious vegetables straight from his
garden the day we arrived. He even let us feed his amazing tortoise, Leo! The property was very clean and had everything we could possibly need including wifi, streaming services, and cookware. Everything was set up with your utmost comfortablility in mind and Chris was always ready to accommodate any requests or questions. We would definitely book again!

Everything you need!
Christopher was a great host. This listing has everything you could need, including a full kitchen, large TV with multiple subscription services, large and clean hot tub, and friends (his dogs and tortoise)! The Keurig stopped working when we arrived, and he switched it out for another one immediately! What we really loved about the area was how peaceful it is. It's quiet, you can see the stars, and the bed is very comfortable! It's a great escape for people who are used to the city. There is some decent food about 10-15 minutes away, but I would say the majority of the good stuff is 20-25 minutes away so plan accordingly!

Pictures don't do it justice!
Beautiful property and wonderful host. Close property was well maintained and provided beautiful areas for lounging and picnicking. Plenty of room beyond that for exploring and hiking. The host was gracious and spent some time talking to us, however was not invasive at all and afforded us plenty time to ourselves. Really enjoyed the animals and meeting the desert tortoise. 100% will stay again in the future.

Not only clean and comfortable, the host was the best in all my years using VRBO. Highly recommended for a quiet place in the hills. Much better that the Hyatt I stayed in the first half of my trip.

Such an awesome stay
Chris is honestly the best host we’ve ever had & ever will. He’s such a cool guy & his property is lovely! Super clean place & nicely stocked, beautiful outdoors & everything was so easy. He let my son pet his tortoise Leo, it was such a great time. I wish we would’ve booked the whole weekend but we’ll be back soon. Can’t wait.
The property was very nice. The host showed lots of hospitality towards me and my wife. The area was very beautiful with a beautiful pond the property was very spacious if you like to take walks and is extremely dog friendly. You can bring your dog and have lots of fun there with them. We definitely will be back in the summer time with the whole family.
