Make yourself at home; your hosts are just a phone call or text away if you have any questions or want recommendations for things to do nearby.

The Neighborhood:
The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, and has a maintained road on a short loop. Just 1 mile off of 285.

Getting Around:
The driveway is steep with plenty of parking, though it is tight turnaround. It's off of a maintained loop. 2.5 car garage, 2 spots to the right of the garage, and 2 in front of it. I ask that guests please park in the garage and at base of driveway to minimize the appearance of neighborhood disruption. You can't see neighbors from my home, but sometimes they walk by on the driveway above and respect to my community is of utmost importance to me.

Interaction with Guests:
I live in the area and am happy to help if you need assistance with the property or ideas for excursions in this lovely area.
