One of the attractions of our HoriZEN home is the wilderness setting. Living surrounded by nature can put you in close contact with creatures great and small. Everything from bears, deer, snakes outside to lady bugs (no matter how fastidious the cleaning) inside can be encountered. Please make sure all doors and windows are closed and secured when entering or leaving the house and be observant of your surroundings when enjoying this bucolic setting! Do not leave food in your parked vehicle. Lock your car doors because the bears can get into unlocked doors and cause costly damage, which owners are not responsible for. Life in the mountains!
Enjoy your stay!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

This is our second stay at HoriZen. Everything about the house and surrounding area gets a 5-star review from us. The house is beautifully appointed and generously stocked. The views are breathtaking. We enjoyed some time at Blue Mountain Brewery, Wild Man Dan's and Veritas. All great! We will return!

Wow! Best VRBO we have ever stayed in.

Lisa's home was incredible. Our family vacations in many VRBOs every year, and this was hands down the best house we have ever stayed in. The photos do not do it justice. We enjoyed the art, cleanliness, and thoughtfulness in the home's design. The master bedroom on the main floor was perfect for my in-laws, who have difficulty with stairs. Downstairs was ideal for the younger members of the family. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to host dinners with family. Every detail had been thought of - from coffee makers on both floors - to toiletries available in every bathroom in case you forget anything. The expansive mountain views are the best part of this stay. We didn't want to leave!

Wow, wow, wow!

We had an amazing time at Horizen House for our 20th wedding anniversary! The views are AMAZING! We loved the owners gorgeous artwork throughout the house. We loved how secluded the house was yet so close to restaurants, breweries, and wineries. The proximity to overlooks and hiking trails was unbeatable! We are so happy we saw this rental property and we hope to be back again!

Fun in the New Year

As mentioned by others, this place is an oasis—lovely decor, must see views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, cozy and spacious, and close to a ton of year-round activities— skiing, hiking, wineries, breweries, etc. Our family only stayed two nights to ring in the New Year, but hope to be back to stay longer. Hosts thought of everything with this place— from the toiletries, to the comfortable, high-end linens and original artwork. Everything you could ask for! .

Best property I've rented!

The photos of Horizen undersell the fabulous views and the house itself. The owner has lovingly furnished the house with comfortable furniture, linens, beautiful artwork, and every appliance you might need. Coffee, creamers, spices, and condiments are also provided, as are travel-size personal items in case you've forgotten something. Firewood for the wood-burning stove is also provided - a good thing, too, because we had temps in the teens and didn't want to rely solely on the house's heat pump (which works fine, and the house is well insulated). Lisa also had a Christmas tree, which made this Florida family's wish for a cozy, chilly pre-holiday complete! I highly recommend this house for your next mountain vacation.

Had a great stay with a group of friends for a girl’s weekend! Very responsive and friendly host. House was even nicer than photos made it look. Only downside was hot tub was broken (huge bummer as this was the main selling point for our group), but the house owner gave us a discount on the house as a result which was really nice. Gorgeous views from the deck, close proximity to hiking and wineries. Recommend!
