We could not ask for anything more in this house nor in the host, John! What an amazing sense of comfort and home! Immaculate and spacious rooms with a sectional in the living room that can seat all. We are all looking forward to another stay next summer!

I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for taking such great care of it! Can't wait to have you all back :)
Our vacation was great!! Plenty to do with all the amenities that are offered. John responded quickly anytime I needed assistance. There was even 2 turkeys hanging out in the yard to keep us company. Overall I recommend John’s house and the hideout to anyone who like “the mountain life”. Thanks again!!

Thanks, Steve! The Hideout is amazing that’s why we love to host great families like yours to experience it! We hope to host you again!
From start to finish (and after) John was responsive and helpful throughout. I was in a unique position as I rented the same house the year before but with a different owner. John turned the house a complete 180. It had the vibe of a B and B with snacks left for us, complimentary sundries in the bathroom and all the right updates. There were ZERO supplies the year before, not even frigging TP. John's pride as a homeowner and host is obvious throughout his home. If you're looking at this listing, just book it. You will not be disappointed. We had 6 ppl from ages 8-75 and everyone had a good time. Even my godparents visited for a couple of days and the process was easy and without any problem. I can't say enough good things about this listing. John has set the bar really high , I'm worried any other experience on VRBO will be a let down.
