Summary: Tanager house is a piece of paradise. Very comfortable open spaces, delightful decor with antiques and art from all over, a chef’s kitchen, gorgeous nature all around, with modern amenities too. Super helpful and attentive managers too. Secluded and quiet. Couldn’t ask for a better home base for our vacation.
