I drive a truck road was bumpy for sure but other guest made it no problem with standard sedans. Wonderful view and very cozy stay.

The views are beautiful. My husband and I are "birders" officially, unofficially Lol. We saw quite a few not to mention the other wildlife like the jumping fish. Overall a great stay and we would gladly return. Host was responsive. The 5.5 mile stretch of road wasn't that bad even after the rain. Beautiful home.
