We had a wonderful stay! The property was beautiful, comfortable, and much more spacious than we expected. It had everything we needed, including two comfortable beds, a great kitchen, dining area, fireplace, TV, and dedicated parking. The location was perfect for us, right in Strawberry and conveniently close to the wedding venue we were attending.Jeff was friendly and accommodating! We unexpectedly needed to bring our small Shih Tzu at the last minute, and he was very understanding and allowed us to add him to our reservation with the pet fee.Just a quick heads-up for future guests: The rental shares a property with Jeff’s separate home, so it’s not entirely private. Jeff also has a larger, incredibly sweet and friendly dog who roams freely around the property. We weren’t expecting him, and while he was absolutely adorable, our little dog was a bit distracted during potty breaks. We simply took him for walks outside the fenced property instead. Nothing major, just helpful to know if you’re traveling with pets or aren’t comfortable around larger dogs!Overall, a fantastic stay! Beautiful property, great location, and a welcoming host. We’d happily recommend it!

Very cozy and was a great stay with our 15 month and 2 month old daughters. Tons of elk surround the neighborhood morning and nights and make some great views. Jeff the host is great and the property is gorgeous.

Jeff was a great host with whom our group of 3 hikers had a chance to chat as we were loading up our packs for our 3-night backpack. Very clean, comfortable accommodations that offered a wonderful night’s rest before our backcountry adventure.
