"Ryan Cider and Bourbon met us as we parked. My dog Arthur quickly befriended the other 2 dogs. Ryan greeted us and showed us around the grounds and house. The views are spectacular. The house itself is tastefully furnished and items are clearly labeled. Amenities are top-notch and well thought out. There are multiple spices, coffee and cooking oil. The beds are extremely comfortable and we sleep soundly. We did not want to leave the house!! I enjoyed meeting the tortoise and viewing the koi pot....

Luxury home on 400 Acre Ranch
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (110)
"Well appointed rustic ranch retreat with a European flavor. Location is wonderful and quiet on a large ranch tucked away in a valley with wonderful hillside trail at your front door. Great outdoor patio for grilling and sitting by the fire. Kitchen is well equipped. Home is big enough for are party of seven to spread out. Single upstairs bathroom is only downside but more than made up by rest of amenities."
