Loved our stay at the Cliffside Home at Shaw's River Ranch!! The home was clean and comfortable and the setting was very quiet and peaceful. The views are EPIC!!!! The host was fantastic! She was very responsive and when I let her know that I was going to be arriving after dark she graciously went to the home shortly before our arrival and turned on the lights and unlocked the door so our arrival was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend staying here!
