Together with our nuclear families, my twin sister and I met to celebrate our 40th at this wonderful secluded location. The location was everything we could have hoped for and more. It was not in an overly touristy location, and the surroundings rendered plenty of beautiful foliage and accompanying privacy. There were several choice destinations (e.g., waterfalls, volcano national park, etc.) within a short drive of the house, and the views along said drives were magical. The home is older as acknowledged and a few maintenance issues surfaced during our extended stay, but the host was extremely responsive and easy to get ahold of, such that any challenges were quickly remedied without adverse impact. The entire group (with ages ranging from 3 to 67) thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the littles (ages 3 and 7) asked to move there! The slide (and accompanying pool and hot tubs!) in particular was a big hit, and there was plenty of room for the twelve of us to spread out into during time spent at the house. Games were played, views enjoyed, and large meals shared. The readers in the group were appreciative also of the ample reading choices found throughout the home. Those of us who love to be in the kitchen were not left wanting of any appliances or kitchenware, and the guys enjoyed use of the outdoor grill. Throughout our stay (8 nights) such wonderful memories were made, such that we can only hope one day to return. :)
