Peaceful location
The house is beautiful and the view is miraculous. The tvs didn't work in the bedrooms. The front door code wasn't working, but we were able to get in through the garage. We saw a bear the first night there, which was really cool. I loved how quiet the neighborhood was.

Perfect getaway!
Porridge Pot was the perfect getaway for our family this Spring Break. The views from the back porch/yard are amazing. We filled our days with hiking local trails and came home to relax in the hot tub. Outdoor fire pit was perfect for s’mores and watching the sun go down. The game room features air hockey, Pac Man, Mortal Combat and a golf game. It was enjoyed by all members of our party both young and old. We could not figure out the heat in the game room so we just bundled up whenever we went in to play. Kitchen was well stocked with all basic essentials including a crock pot. The king bed in master bedroom was so comfy we slept great the entire stay. Our family would highly recommend staying at Porridge Pot and we hope to visit it again in the future. Also, the road once you enter the community is steep, but paved so be prepared. We had a FWD vehicle and it was fine, but we did not drive in inclement weather.
