We love that it was pet friendly. We also love this home as it was nice and clean and very private. Everything was comfortable and it was like being at home away from home. The roads were a little narrow and steep for us, but after a few tries, we were OK with it.

So Peaceful and Relaxing!

We were only planning to stay one night on a business trip, but the Villa was so nice and relaxing that I booked two more nights for my wife, her best friend, and me to enjoy.

The amenities were great, and the property was beautiful, but I would recommend renting from private owners within the property due to some problems I had with the resort renters. The resort changed our listing and after we paid a higher price to get a river view room, we were given a Mountain View. When we asked the resort to help us straighten things out they refused to make it right.

The overall property was amazing- so quiet and peaceful. We saw countless deer and were able to enjoy a stunning view of the sunset every evening. The villas are dated. Which is fine and do-able…however, the pungent mildew smell was more than I could bear. It is not only the smell but the toxins from either the mold or fungi that it’s coming from; my body began swelling, could not stop sneezing, eyes watering, etc. Would love to come back but please do something about this. It is simply hazardous for your guests to constantly breathe in these toxins.

The resort itself is very nice and beautiful. The roads are very narrow and dangerous. The villa itself was outdated, with dead bugs, spider webs, spiders and dust.

Beautiful area. The property was very clean and neat. It was dated but still comfortable for our short stay. Getting to the property the road was very very narrow and you had to be very careful.
