This property is stunningly beautiful! All the detail that went into the design of the property was well thought out and planned! From the carport, to the rock sidewalk, landscaping and home design/decor! The porch is where our family spent many hours so relaxing as you could here the water rushing down the stream. Would absolutely stay here again! Thanks for Sharing your home with guest!
