Luxury 10 acre Estate Property With Fantastic Views- May Specials

We stayed at this property for a family vacation in March of 2013. The house is set back a good ways from the main thoroughfare, so you should be prepared to go through some winding back roads, past a good bit of farm land (not pretty), to get to it. The final lane is a small road past a couple of other properties which were a little too close for comfort. We had inquired about distance to other houses as we wanted a quiet place in the country and the listing seemed to imply that was the case. There are some nearby dogs, however, that bark and can be heard at the house. And the property is much closer to the neighbors than we realized. To that end, I should also mention that the home really has no curtains/blinds. It makes for great views, but it was a bit uncomfortable for us considering the master bedroom and bath face the driveway. When the kids were outside (or if anyone had driven up), they could see directly into the master bath, so if you wanted a mid-day shower, you had to use another bathroom in the house. There are plenty, but it would have been nice to simply draw some curtains or blinds. That said, the house has amazing views of the mountains and houses in the distance which made it picturesque. You can sit on the deck and watch the sun/moon rise if you like, which is quite enjoyable. The house is well apointed with quality furniture and linens, which we expected and appreciated. It was obvious a great deal of time, planning and money were spent on the house and all the details/extras that were in place. The children were disappointed that neither of the two televisions downstairs worked as they had claimed that area as the "kid zone." When I checked with the owner, they simply advised us to move a cable box from upstairs, which we did not feel comfortable doing. We thought they should have had the all electronics properly working (we also could not get the DVD player to work) before we arrived or come to the property to take care of this for us, but they stated they did not want to travel in the weather (a light snow) which we thought odd as living in the area they presumably had a vehicle equipped for mountain roads and snow as we were simply visiting and had taken those precautions. I should also mention the Wi-Fi amenity is a bit deceptive as there is a note upon arrival about limiting use, so the children were not able to use their ipad/iphone for games and movies at night (which would not have been an issue but for the tvs and DVD player)
