Our jaws hit the floor when we stumbled in at 11pm. Every room elicited squeals as we explored our home for the week. OK, Adam didn't squeal, it was more like "Oh Man!" I felt like a queen wiht th large kitchen, dishwasher, detachable spray faucet and laundry closet! Adam was in heaven with full access to TSN and ESPN. We had a great time mountain biking, hiking, sleepin in and hot tubbing under the stars. I saw 3 shooting stars in one night! Thanks for your faulous hospitality. We had a great 2nd honeymoon!
