I love the waterfall and love the balcony and I love the flat screen TV. Today we heard that 4 bears were walking on the street. I was leaning on the fence and I love your garden. Josh: I am 7 years old.

It was perfect! Picturesque. The waterfalls were not only beautiful but soothing. Thank you for sharing your precious home! Kristin & Dan P.S. We loved your "Big Art" and the other art work as well.

My husband and I stayed at the Waterfall House and had an amazing time. Even in late winter, the property was a beautiful, relaxing, and cozy retreat. We were so comfortable with the fireplace, well-stocked kitchen, and extensive movie collection that we didn't leave once in 5 days (except, of course, for strolls to the waterfall with our dog).
