Beautiful scenery

We spent one week here. Everything was great- the hosts were extremely nice and helpful. My husband has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and we wanted to go where we could relax and enjoy the scenery while he is still feeling ok. We were not disappointed! The house was very nice and the scenery was breathtaking. We hope to go back !
