Beautiful home
We only stayed one night so probably didn’t fully take advantage of what a beautiful home this is. Definitely plenty of room.

Peaceful!
This property was exactly as described. It was HUGE with the most amazing views in all directions. We wanted some peaceful, remote but close to town and yet felt safe with three ladies staying there. We had use of parking in the garage which was an added benefit. Our hosts were great and there is a caretaker living on the property, but we still had privacy. It was absolutely perfect! Highly recommend!!

Nice, but could be better
This property was beautiful; the view was spectacular. Our host was very responsive and very kind, and even gifted us a bottle of wine! The house itself is very nice and spacious, but there is room for improvement with this property. The floors were very dirty-when walking around barefoot your feet would turn black. There were also a lot more critters at this house than the other places we had stayed. My fiance and I stayed in the bedroom by the front door and the main bathroom lights didn't work, which was a little inconvenient. Something that was frustrating for us visiting from outside the country, was that the Wi-Fi didn't work. The host explained internet was out on the entire street and did provide a portable Wi-Fi device, but the data was used up quite quickly and we weren't able to get more loaded on the device. All in all, it was a beautiful property and a nice house, but there is definitely room for improvement in terms of cleanliness and internet availability.

Great remote retreat
This house is unexpectedly palatial and unique. Located on a hilltop, the views of the surrounding landscape are absolutely amazing. Each bedroom is enormous with an attached bath, and the kitchen has everything you need. The wraparound porch Provides a lovely place to hang and watch the sunset. We also had rainbows in the morning. The is near the lake, but also located near a town with plenty of shopping and restaurants available. This is an ideal location for a quiet retreat to get away from it all. Note that it is distance to Fortuna and Monteverde but if you’re looking for quiet time, this is ideal.
