Our group had a fantastic stay at both Orions. The homes were clean with every amenity you need and great kitchen and bath products. The pool was also a much needed bonus in the hot summer weather. The property is very peaceful with only a few rabbits and quail crossing your path. We also loved the proximity to the park and town. We will definitely return!

We have stayed here a few times for a long weekend over Memorial Day. With four couples, we love the perfect mix of communal and private areas. Everything about the property (views, closeness to the park, pool, hot tub, well stocked kitchen, record collection, etc) makes for a truly magical stay.

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was the perfect place to celebrate a birthday with our closest friends, and our pups. Our host was incredibly friendly, communicative, and made everything easy from start to finish. The home itself is beautiful; clean, cozy, and very private. We especially loved relaxing in the hot tub while watching the sunset. The kitchen is spacious and great for cooking, and the collection of records was such a fun touch. We had six people in our group and the space felt perfect for all of us. I would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation and would happily stay here again.
