So lucky to have found this hidden gem near Mountain View. We booked over a year in advance to see and experience the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. My husband brought two telescopes for the solar eclipse and the weather cooperated nicely. The photos are accurate and the house was even better than expected, very clean and had everything we needed for our 4-night stay with friends. Easy check-in process and great hospitality from the host, Billy, who checked in a couple of times to make sure we didn't need anything. The fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies were delicious. I enjoyed the visit from the big dog George on our last day. I would recommend visiting Mountain View for an afternoon and definitely visit the amazing Blanchard Springs Caverns (pre-book your ticket online).
