Breathtaking Views

I spent four days at this lovely retreat in the mountaintops with two friends. The two story cottage was just wonderful and the owner had thought of every amenity possible. The listing for the little vacation home looked great but there was much more there than anticipated. As we drove up a winding road to the top of a mountain, the serenity of the surroundings was inspiring and we all took a deep breath. There was lots of open space, hiking trails and bbq areas right next to the house and another one up some stairs higher on the mountain! Maya, the owner's dog was loving and welcoming, and we really enjoyed her friendly, frolicky, yet very well behaved company. There was a big refrigerator, a kitchen with everything, lots of cozy nooks for reading and comfortable beds and sofas exactly as shown in the pictures, all in excellent condition. Everything was impeccably clean but not sterile. It was like the quintessential "home sweet home" and we never wanted to leave. The location was easy to find for a direction challenged driver and close to area attractions while still evoking a feeling that we were a hundred miles away from any stress or too much bustle. The owner, Dale, was the perfect host, providing us with privacy while at the same time always being available if we were in need of anything, which, of course, we were not, other than some very helpful directions. He even thought of the charcoal and starter fluid for the grill! We will definitely go back.
