Don’t be surprised if you also catch an up-close look at the breathtaking horned owls that make our trees their home while walking the property.The interior features include Two wood-burning stoves & a fireplace with extensive hand-built wooden cabinets and storage throughout both homes, a spacious tile floored front room, humidity regulating swamp coolers, comfortably sized rooms, several ceiling fans.

I am not a fan of that4.
