This place is beautiful. So peaceful and much larger than the pictures show. The views are unbeatable and it was great to just relax and disconnect from the world here.

Fantastic!

The Good: One of a kind location. The Bad: The listing says 3 showers/bath. The master had a huge jacuzzi sized tub a shower head but no walls and capert in the bathroom- no way to run the shower w/o soaking the BR carpet so we just walked the three floors down to use the 1st floor shower. They also say wash b4 getting into the hottub, easy if you have baths you wash in.For a highend stay the mgt company could put a bit of money into it and make it worth the trouble for the location.
