Spacious & Beautiful Views

Perfect home for a weekend getaway. Close to the snow parks for the day, about 35 miles away. Children loved the tree swings and playground.

The sand volleyball court was the highlight of our stay and we loved the stadium lighting around it for night games. The house is huge with plenty of space for people to spread out and has great views. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place to get away with friends

Missi is a wonderful host! Access was easy, information was clear and they were very responsive. The place itself was huge, with a full sand volleyball court with floodlights to play in the evening, beautiful hike to the river (although this time of year poison oak was prevalent) and very spacious sleeping areas for all your friends. The kitchen was a great hangout spot for 16 people and the property had more than enough space to play multiple lawn games, set up a frisbee golf course and kick back and relax to watch a movie. The room and balcony at the top (we called it the crows nest) is a perfect space to get away from it all and take in the beautiful views. There was plenty of parking spots and more than enough cold storage space (2 full fridges and 1 full freezer) for all the food and beverages. Could not have asked for a better spot.

Great house with amazing views

Rented this house with friends, so my husband and his buddies could golf at Dark Horse which was about 10 minutes away. The house was lovely and had plenty of room for the 6 couples. Found the kitchen to be well stocked with everything we needed as well. An added bonus was the amazing views! Also the owner was great to work with.
