Great little neighborhood. Good for walking our dog. Home was plenty big for the two of us.Every few days our neighborhood bear (small) would come by and knock over our garbage can but couldn’t get in to the garbage.Best sightseeing was nearby Whitewater Falls.

Excellent experience. We had a family emergency and the owners and agent worked with us to allow for flexibility in the stay. This was a huge relief and reduced our worry level. Will definitely recommend and use them again!!!
