I absolutely loved my stay. The space was beautiful, clean, and exactly as described, if not even better. It was clear how much care and thought went into making it comfortable and welcoming. Liz was truly exceptional: responsive, incredibly helpful, and friendly beyond compare. Communication was seamless from start to finish, and I always felt supported throughout my stay. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great experience. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

We loved, loved, loved, Liz’s place. We were on a work /staycation and it was just what we needed. Quiet, private and so quaint. Liz has thought of everything. I was so impressed. I made dinner and had every utensil and piece of cookware I needed, and everything was top quality. I travel often, and one thing I appreciate is quality. Her cookware, bedding, appliances, furniture; awesome. iThe decor is beautiful. I love her taste. The bedroom is huge and very comfortable, I didn’t get a chance to visit the horses, but the entire grounds are beautiful. Liz made it simple to check in, check out and it was a very relaxing stay.

This place was beautiful I live in Anaheim so the 40 minute drive here was well worth it . Not that far from home but the views were beautiful not to mention Liz made us feel right at home. So many things were provided during our stay I’ve never stayed somewhere where the host was so thoughtful . I can’t wait to stay here again
