Recommendation from recent guest

Staying in the glass house felt like floating in the forest, like living in art. The way the light fell on the trees each evening was something to behold. We felt at home right away. We enjoyed the freshly picked berry dessert and had a good time checking out your beautiful garden. We also loved the walk to Big Tree. That gave us a glimpse of how impressive the old growth forest must have been. The beauty and peace of your place---the trees, the river, the bridges, and the deer were spectacular. But our favorite spot was King’s Hole. We loved swimming, laying in the sun, and building a fire there at night. And we’re looking forward to spending more time exploring your amazing place. We’ll definitely be back. Year after year. Thanks so much for the most unique and fulfilling vacation we’ve had.
