Experience breathtaking views as you hike through the wooded trails.

There is plenty of room for everyone in this spacious, upgraded cabin on a cul-de-sac. Grab a cue stick and challenge others to a round of pool, or have a BBQ outdoors on the spacious patio with plenty of seating to relax in the mountain air. Whip up a favorite meal in the well-equipped kitchen and dine indoors or outdoors. Your private hot tub is outdoors and provides the perfect place to relax after a long day filled with activities and adventures. Additional comforts include central heat and air-conditioning, a private washer/dryer, and complimentary WiFi.

Gorgeous, large home.

This house is beautiful and in a perfect location. Everything is very comfortable and clean. Lots of amenities and activities for guests. Only complaint is an over-sensitivity to noise. They pretty much expect you to be in bed by 9pm or to be completely silent. We were watching Hallmark Christmas movies on TV and got multiple noise complaints which was frustrating. Nothing came of it but it was upsetting since we were following the rules and did not host a big party or play loud music.

Nice place to host a group

The kitchen and grill were perfect for preparing group meals, and the common space made for a lively gathering room. The bedrooms were not as advertised in the listing. There were supposed to be 6 K or Q rooms, but one of the queen beds had been moved in with another, so there were only 5 private double occupancy rooms, which wasn’t helpful for our couples’ planned sleeping arrangements.

Great place for a large group

The place is so big - never felt crowded with 7 adults. Jacuzzi was great and the kitchen was stocked. Great location - close to downtown and some hiking trails. We cooked every night in the kitchen and used the BBQ - no problems. Loved having 2 fridges. Beds were cozy and the place stayed cool (it was 80 degrees the weekend we went) Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic Family Vacation At Hidden Lodge Fern Valley

Perfect setting for our family vacation in honor of my upcoming 75th birthday. We were fortunate to have snow on the ground and an over night snow storm to add to the beautiful forest backdrop. This house was a great size for my family of 7 adults, 3 children, and 1 dog. The house looks exactly as it is pictured, however, there is only 1 gas barbeque. The house is well equipped except it was minus a much needed snow shovel. I will suggest that the linens, pillows, and towels could use an upgrade. Also the oven was dirty and not working properly, and the gas barbeque had not been cleaned in a very long time. We wished there had been a guest sign in book so we could see where people had come from, and read their comments about their visit.

Perfect place in a winter wonderland

This house was perfect for our group of 10. We had a lot of space, the kitchen is large and great for a gathering area. We especially loved the screened in porch - even during the winter. So nice to sit in (with a jacket) and watch the snow fall. The pool table was a PLUS! We will definitely be back!! Thank you.

Great family getaway

The goal of our stay was to get away and spend time as a family. The spaciousness of this property was our favorite feature. We loved the open floor plan on the first floor. We were able to be all together while having several different activities going on at the same time. Game of pool, a family movie, a card game at the dining table, craft projects at the barstools and preparing a meal all in the same grand space. We found that the kitchen lacked a few basics like salt & pepper, foil, dishwasher racks were broken and dishes were difficult to load. Plenty of dishes and silverware. From infant to adult, there was something for everyone. Would recommend for a large family gathering with any ages.

Big Elvis House

This is a spacious mountain home with nice indoor and out door areas. Living room, kitchen, dining area very open with a vaulted ceilings in living room. PROs: bathrooms and bedrooms were clean, nice linens and pillows, a large well stocked kitchen, lots of fans, pool table and beautiful hot tub. Also located in a quiet neighborhood centrally located. CONs: upon arrival it was apparent that floors were dusty and dirty, porches full of leaves and cobwebs, an actual rodent/bird nest in corner ceiling of screened porch with fresh droppings all around, “kid room” was very small with dangerous items (broken ping pong table metal tripping hazard and metal ladder leaning on wall) Biggest problem was the AC (upstairs only) did not work and we had young kids attempting to sleep upstairs. Good news - I was able to connect immediately with front line employees for help. Problems were resolved quickly and personnel were attentive and professional. I did appreciate their prompt attention! (There continues to be an animal of some sort climbing through the beams and eaves of the screened porch. Good luck catching the critter(s) and securing that corner of the house)

Not a premier property

I’ve stayed at several premier places and this one doesn’t meet the standards for the price. Although it’s a large property with lots of beds, it lacks the comfort. The house was not clean, lots of dust, appliances in mediocre condition, spa not clean, and thermostat not quite operational. As the property is not listed on vrbo and through vacasa, despite my reach out no host/ person responded. Overall, I would rate this as a quick stay location if you are going to spend your time only for bed.

Absolutely loved the house and it's layout. I fit our families and friends need with the amount of bedrooms and the specious layout of the house. The sink and dishwasher definitely need improvements and the upstairs heating system does not work. But overall the most comfortable house we have ever rented. Will definitely go back to this property.

Spacious and entertaining but still misses the mark

Vacasa has been a terrible 3rd party company to work it and I left my review on their site as well. The house was spacious and had lots of entertainment and we were quite impressed when we first walked in. However, after a few hours we discovered it was all surface beauty. The thermostat was broken so there was no heat and temperatures dropped to 32 degrees overnight. Vacasa sent 2 "maintenance" men out to "fix" the problem but they spent no more than 5 minutes on the problem and told me that the heat should kick on and if it doesn't then I could burn the wood they brought us. The heat never turned on. The front and back yard hadn't been swept in months and there were empty soda cans in the drive way. There was a Qtip and trash in the living room and dirty sheets on some of the beds. The kitchen was a hodgepodge of items that seemed to be left by prior renters. For the price of this rental, more care should be given to it. Don't be deceived by the pictures. I will end on a positive and say that the living area was very spacious and accommodated our large family. We were able to comfortably spread out and enjoy the pool and ping pong tables. I will not be renting from Vacasa and will be discouraging others from doing so as well.
