Shhhhh!!! This is a secret gem right near our home! I recommend going here for photography. Bring a few dozen candles, and take epic sunset and night shots! Please RESPECT this ancient dwelling because it is very fragile. Lovely!

Everything Else
This is an old ghost town turned resort, but if you have a ton of money, it is so fun to visit! One of the most beautiful places on earth, and here you may very well run into the richest people in the world, even European and Asian Royal families. But you need some cash. They even have a stunning 20' private waterfall. oh my.
