We loved staying here the location was perfect. The only thing we wish it had was more water pressure. We loved the theme and the house. Thank you for a great stay.

Laura, Thank you for your kind words. We work to provide a positive experience for our guests. This is a rural property in an arid region on a well shared with another home. Water pressure is not what you might experience in a hotel. However, we feel fortunate to have a well as many of our neighbors out here must haul water. (We do have to in order to fill the hot tub). I am happy you enjoyed your stay. Come back soon! Lynelle

The location and view was fantastic. The only issue we had was very low water pressure in the tub/shower and hot water was not hot just warm. Water pressure in the kitchen was fine
