Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the views, hot tub, and our convenient location. We look forward to welcoming you back!
Everything was as advertised, though we didn't use the kitchen. We couldn't get the fireplace to start and one of the TV remotes batteries were dead, but otherwise everything was great.

Property was clean and was like pictures. The only complaint I have is the ring doorbell that announced every time someone or something was outside. There are many deer in the area and to hear that at all hours of day and evening got very annoying.Also, the nest thermostat has a setting that when it doesn’t detect movement, it does not come on. Everyday we came back to a house that was 80 degrees. I understand trying to conserve energy but when guests are there, that feature should be shut off.
We chose this property because of the picture on the site with a Mountain View. There is NOT a view. The picture is old and needs to be taken down. The house needs a lot of updating. The hot tub is old, the deck needs replaced. We couldn’t watch tv in the bedroom because the batteries in the remote were corroded. I could go on and on….I do not recommend!
Great location, loved the quietness & cleanliness of the home. We will return!
