My family and I loved our stay here, such a beautiful home, clean rooms, air conditioning worked great, the pool was great for family time and we loved taking the kayaks out on the lake. I wish we had more time at this place!

This house is absolutely stunning!!! Wonderful place to relax. It is about a 45 minute drive into LaFortuna but well worth it to us! Raquel was a great host. If we have the opportunity to go back we will definitely stay here.

Communication was great! Never had to wait for a response if we had a question. The house was perfect! Perfect location, grounds were beautiful, size was perfect for our group of 7. Raquel was an amazing host! Set us up with a massage therapist who came to the house for 4 of us. And when power went out in the area, she found us a close restaurant who was airing the Super Bowl! Highly recommend

I can't say enough good things about this property. It's gorgeous and Raquel, the host, was amazing! She left us a delicious gift basket with fruit and snacks on the counter, she was readily available whenever we texted her with questions and she had great recommendations for restaurants to eat at nearby. We would 100% recommend.
