This property was really nice. The view was so pretty. We had a couple issues checking in, but the owner Jeanette was very responsive and had this solved quickly. She even bought us pizza for dinner that first night. I would recommend this property highly.

Birthday Wkend

We came to the property at the last minute for ours sons 9th birthday after our first cabin was canceled due to the Winter storm. The location was great for sledding right on the property, which is why we booked it. Turned out to be just as we expected. The house had all you needed. Nice soft beds. Great pull out sofa in game room. Only complaint would be The kitchen only had one pot and a few pans, but we made due with bowls in the microwave to cook.

Perfect, relaxing getaway

Beautiful home with gorgeous mountain views. Kitchen was well-equipped, the house was immaculately clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The property owner/manager provided quick responses to questions. We were within a short drive to grocery stores and restaurants (most of which are offering takeout during the pandemic). We greatly enjoyed the decks and rocking chairs, but sadly didn’t have a chance to play pool or ping pong. The house was in a quiet, peaceful location that wasn’t crowded or touristy and was only about a 30-minute drive through beautiful countryside to the areas we wanted to hike, view waterfalls, or go zip lining. Would highly recommend this vacation home!

Fantastic Value and Views

The location was central to everything we wanted. Easy to find, private but not isolated. Clean and up to date furnishings. Great communication with owner/manager. Actually it was more than we expected. Will definitely stay there again when in the area.

I have stayed at this house twice. It is always clean and perfect for a women's retreat.

The location is ideal for getting away from hustle and bustle, but close to restaurants and shopping. The view in the morning while you sip your coffee is wonderful. Everything you need is provided.

Breathtaking views

Spectacular! The views were amazing. The house is well kept, clean, and well stocked with everything we needed to prepare and cook our meals (Guest supply your own groceries of course)! It was brought to my attention the day before we left that the main bathroom door needs a little attention ( off track). Other than that... Perfection perfection perfection! Loved waking up to the sound of birds singing and the mountain views on the porch with a cup of coffee. I already suggested this home to friends and for us the home wasn't steep at all, compared to some other places we've rented.
