Bill,
Where can I start?? THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Our vacation was amazing.
Your place is indescribable and fantastic!
Heinz took very good care of us and we grew quite fond of him quickly.
He's
a keeper!!!
Heinz
volunteered to take us fishing at the pond and it was perfect. We're
not experienced "fisher people" and it was more than enough to go to
the pond with him, catch 2 lovely trout and release them. Our son,
Patrick was excited beyond belief about catching the fish and holding
them in the net for a minute.
We went down at the end of the day. Bill was rustling the cattle with his
dog, there was a family of geese at the pond, the birds were singing
very loudly, the sky was a reddish orange and the moon was almost full.
It was fantastic looking up at the mountain while hearing and seeing
such beautiful sights and sounds. It was absolutely stunning and one
of the highlights of our trip!
Another highlight of the trip was when we first pulled up at your place.
We put on our water shoes and sloshed down to the pond as a group.
Everyone was so excited to see such a beautiful place. Within the
first half hour Patrick was probably as happy as I'd ever seen him. It was magic.
He's a true nature boy and loved our entire stay there.
We took a bike ride each day. The first day we attempted to ride up
the ridge across from the front door of the house. That was steep!!
All of the other days we rode the Hoy Road loop. It was so beautiful!
We ran into horses, lots of cattle, a snake, and our favorite things to
see while we rode were the peacocks. We loved hearing them yell out to
announce our approach. It was fun!
The Hoy Road loop is so beautiful - it reminds me of "The Ponderosa".
I'm attaching a few pictures from our adventures.
We also loved watching the swallows in their nest on your front porch.
The parents would come up and feed them and care for them. I could sit
there all day watching them, reading a book and drinking tea. To me
that was true luxury!
We didn't go very far on hikes - mostly just along the ridge or the road near your house. Didn't really have to go far because everywhere
we went was beautiful. We made the decision that once we got there we
didn't need to go anywhere else. We just enjoyed where we were and it was
perfect.
If you are seriously considering renting it out in the future we are
definitely interested in renting from you. It is the perfect
destination for us. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Thanks again and all the best,
Stephanie (Steve and Patrick)
