    Rooms were good. Daisy and Carol were great cooks. Andrey, the manager is very knowledgeable about birds and more than willing to help with info of birding sights off the property. Although, birding on the property was excellent.

    A beautiful, newer property nestled off a quiet hillside road. The food and birding were amazing, with knowledgeable helpful staff. The activity around the multiple hummingbird feeders on the front deck provided amazing natural entertainment.
