^{I would absolutely love to come back here. Make sure to get here as early as you can. The dirt road is completely flat but bumpy and long, and would be no fun in the dark esp pulling a trailer. Once you're there, you're in no hurry to leave. It is beautiful, and it seems like you can touch the Milky Way. The room is simple and elegant. The bed was perfectly restful, making the early morning light a delight. The expansive green meadow and multiple ponds with a background of pines is deeply serene. The cool silence interrupted only by calling birds. The continental breakfast was quite nice. Fresh berries and fruit with yogurt. Hard boiled eggs, a variety of pastries, breads and cereals hot and cold. Orange juice, ice water, and coffee options were all fine. My wife liked the pre-made crepes; I was satisfied with the fruit and pastries. The Host was a pleasant gentleman and the dining area was an open space of new concrete, glass, steel, and wood with ample comfortable seating. It felt a bit out of place in a very chic way. This place is unique, having both the seclusion feel of backpacking with absolute 4-star comfort.}
