Nice front porch, close to SMORR

The house is a little rustic, but everything was clean/in good working order and it has plenty of space. It is only 18 minutes from great off-roading at SMORR and there was plenty of space for parking. There are a handful of gas stations and good restaurants just a few minutes away, but the house itself is a little out of the way so it is nice place to relax. I enjoyed the front porch with a view of the valley across the way.

Great place to stay

This house was a great place for my friend and I to stay for our weekend. Neat, clean, comfortable, well stocked with dishes, cups, glasses and cookware. The sunrise view was amazing! We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area again.

Perfect Out of The Way Spot

Not that Ava is a busy area but the location of this property as described and on the edge of town. Our stay was very quiet and full of nature. We saw deer each day in the field across the road and the neighbors yard and there was a bunch of squirrels in the tree next to the house. Very peaceful to sit and watch them with my morning coffee. The home is perfect for a couple days or longer. I cannot think of anything they did not accommodate for. Hulu for streaming entertainment. We loved it and will be back every time we are in the area to visit family.

The view was amazing

Just out of town with an amazing view. It wasn’t quite ready when we got there, the host was still cleaning. Which was kinda awkward but she was very apologetic about it and made a trip back to bring us sheets for an air mattress. Overall a decent stay.

Family ThanksChristmas

House is very cozy. I loved that the owners had ice in freezer for us, all towels, toilet paper, paper towels, coffee for keurig maker. I had problems with fridge and she was quick to help on the day of Thanksgiving. I will definitely stay there again when visiting family. So much nicer and no comparison than the disgusting Super 8 in town.
