"Cliff’s Place was perfect for a weekend getaway. Waking up to a fantastic view from the main bedroom elicited an ahhhhh response that first morning as we had arrived after sunset. There are several outdoor and indoor areas to kick back in and enjoy the abundant natural beauty of this property. If you are looking to unplug in nature but also have a cozy bed instead of camping, this is your place."
