Beautiful home, drive your AWD/4x4

1. We brought our AWD vehicle and were thankful for it. There was slippage on the way down while it was raining.2. Bring night lights for your children. It is pitch black at night.3. The property management will send you documents that say you need to bring toilet paper, paper towel, etc. Just bring Kleenex, if you use it. They provide the rest.4. The sound carries to the 2nd floor from the 1st. We had sound machines for our children so we didn't disturb them after we put them down.5. Wifi went out while we were there and we had little reception, fyi.6. They have an ice maker.But really, so peaceful, clean, and a beautiful home. We played football on the lawn and took a walk down part of the trail. You can see the stars better than you can from in the city where we live so we took the children out at night to see the constellations. It's little things like that that made the trip more memorable.Thank you for sharing your home with us!
