Relaxing and quiet

The deck is amazing and the highlight of the house. Clean and comfortable inside. Plenty of games. Wish we had longer to enjoy the peace

No help.

Cute house. Grill was terrible not kept up. Coffee pot did not work. Deck is beautiful . Things were going ok until we had a foot of snow. Telephone number given for assistance was recording. Waited 25 minutes to leave a message. Asked about plowing .. Iguess it’s our job to find d a plow or shovel. Never have I had to do that in a winter Vrbo. Took us 2 hours to shovel out with one shovel that was broken. Finally a text came and basically said to figure it out. This really left us with a bad ecperience in a beautiful area

Charming and Cozy

Overall this was a great property, and was an amazing location. So close to town center and an easy walk or drive. The property is gorgeous, and we loved walking along the creek through the back yard. The house itself is huge and the bedrooms were spacious and clean. Plenty of clean towels and sheets. And the living room and kitchen were so cozy. On the negative side, the back deck is ready to fall through in places and desperately needs to be replaced. We had to avoid the entire right side of the deck since multiple boards were so soft and clearly falling apart that were had a real fear of one of us (or one of the kids!) falling through. We were also really excited for the hot tub, but unfortunately none of the jets on half of the tub were working. All in all, would definitely recommend, but it definitely needs some maintenance updates, especially for safety reasons.

Great House!

We had a great stay here, plenty of space for the 8 people. The view from the jacuzzi is gorgeous looking out over the deck into the forest. The kitchen was well stocked. Quick walk to the town. Perfect house and we'll stay again!
