This was such a peaceful & memorable stay! The site felt wonderfully private with stunning mountain views that shifted beautifully as the dramatic fog rolled in & out. The highlight was the friendly cows who wandered over to visit & explore my rig & cats! The host was very communicative & provided clear, easy-to-follow directions. Highly recommend :)
