"We had a wonderful time! We actually spent most of our weekend bird watching from the deck. We saw a flock of turkey, a coyote, a groundhog and more. These discoveries really drove home the rural appeal of Boulder Creek. It's like having a safari in your backyard. We loved the house and really appreciated all the thoughtful little touches. The surrounding area is beautiful too. We're already talking about going back!"
