Lovely place; spectacular setting.
Property is very much as advertised. Well appointed, roomy, stunning views and very much oriented to outdoor living. (We didn't do much of that because of visiting during the rainiest winter in memory in the area!). Lovely walks in nearby Tilden. Convenient for local shopping and dining down the hill. Property manager is friendly, helpful and very responsive to any request.
