Ronna and I drove to Ann's home and instantly knew that our family reunion would be perfect here. Our families converged at the beginning of the week and everyone enjoyed every moment. Thanks Ann!

Our family of 21, from ages four months to 85 years, found this to be a "mountain top" week together. A few highlights-the enormous oak trees, the wind rustling up the canyon, the jays, robins, hawks, ospreys, and turkey vultures flying up the canyon, the pool & spa, the chickens, garden, the charming accomodations and the magnificient night sky! Most of all this beautiful jewel exudes a quality of warmth and welcome that enter into our life experiences in a very uplifting way--so much so that many speak of wishing to return someday. Ann, thanks for sharing Mesa Del Sol, recognizing the energy, resources and love you have invested.

All 19 of us thoroughly enjoyed this lovely home. You have all the elements needed to ensure that we had a relaxing and joyful time. The kids (all 6 of them) had fun on the swings, in the pool and exploring your beautiful property. Thank you for having us. You have done a remarkable job with this home. We will recommend it to our friends! Thank you!
