Beatiful location but needs updated.
The property was in a beautiful location everything was just dated and well used. There was Asian lady bugs and stink bugs everywhere. There were dead piles of them when arriving and they just kept comong out.

Disappointed
My wife and I booked the property due to it be secluded and the views out the windows. We were disappointed that the windows were so dirty that you couldn't see out of them from inside to enjoy the view. The property manager did send someone to pressure wash but said they were going to have to replace the windows after our stay. Also, upon arrival the coffee maker didn't look like it had been cleaned in a ver long time. It took almost 15 minutes of scrubbing before it was useable. The furniture on the patio was very flimsy and 1 of the pieces had broken wood. On the positive the views from outside are fantastic. Also, be careful of the wasp every day there were more and more wasp inside the house). They did have wasp spray under the kitchen sink. I was disappointed that we were only offered a very small discount due to the issues. I would have expected 20-25%.I suggest asking if the windows have been replaced before booking so you won't also be disappointed.

Quite and secluded, was exactly what we were looking for!
Cabin was clean and cozy. Hot tub was full and hot when we arrived which was much needed after a long drive. Very quite and secluded hill top cabin. The views are amazing, especially in the morning. Road going up was clear. We had no issues getting up to the property in our Honda Pilot. King bed was firm but had memory foam. We slept amazing! Property is about 18 minutes from the Casino. We would definitely book this one again!

Perfect home out in nowhere!
Must have 4 wheel drive! House has gorgeous views. VERY secluded and private on top of a mountain. Hot tub was very relaxing. Very clean and well stocked with supplies. Jacuzzi tub inaster bathroom. Fireplace. Bring what you need because you're a good way out from any stores. Opened the screen doors and let in the fresh mountain air!
Only negative for us was the master bed is very firm and we prefer a more cushioned bed.
