Summary: What an incredible property! The views are amazing; what beautiful sunrises! Everything is immaculate. Plenty of room for our extended family of 8 to celebrate our parents' 65th wedding anniversary. My favorite party of the house is the sunporch, which we were able to enjoy even in the cooler weather. Paul is very responsive & quickly answered all of my questions. We would love to be able to stay here again!

Summary: The view is to die for!! We didn't use may of the amenities, so i can't comment on them. I don't think there were enough coffee mugs or forks for more than 8. It was cold, so more blankets for the cooler weather. But i10/10 recommend!
