Alex was very accommodating- kept the driveway clear of snow, made sure we had what we needed and made us feel like we were at 'home for the holidays' which can be a tough time to be away from home

The people who own the property were very nice and helpful. Stair rails would be a good addition to get to the top floor. We also missed having a microwave oven.

Unique home, very nice. A little difficult to find in the dark. Comfortable beds but upstairs shower was very small and larger person would have trouble in it. Lots of room to relax and enjoy.
This home is very roomy and the decor is beautiful! It fit 6 adults comfortably. The kitchen is setup nicely for easy cooking. The area is extremely quiet, the view is gorgeous and the wildlife is very abundant. Wild turkies were seen everyday and elk were also seen in the front yard. The hosts of this property have supplied a number of outdoor games as well as a nice firepit for use. I highly recommended this beautiful home as it is well worth the value!
