We enjoyed the view and had a fire and s’mores a few nights. Butterflies and hummingbirds frequented the gardens…. We toured wineries and loved downtown St. Joseph. This house really is a perfect family spot.”brSeptember 2018 guestsbrbr“A wonderful family time in a beautiful setting. The division of the rooms worked so well for us. We, the grandparents, got the master bedroom, and it was amazing. A beautiful view and birds singing to awaken us. A small couch where the granddaughters could come cuddle with us first thing in the morning… Thank you for a wonderful home away from home for a week!”brJuly 2018 guestsbrbr“Our friendcation was amazing, and a large part of that was due to the wonderful Sunset Bluff. We loved hanging out in the four seasons room, soaking in the scenic views. Memories were made with the firepit and hammock! The accommodations have been wonderful, and many attractions were so close. We enjoyed our stay here to the fullest!”brJune 2018 guests
