Extremely comfortable beds! Beautiful home. Stunning location. As user friendly as it gets. Well thought out in every aspect. 4 separate 'chilling spots' inside on the main floor and a big deck as well. Lots of parking and outside space! The only thing that can make this one better is more time and future visits! AN ABSOLUTE 10 of 10Phenomenal hosts and attention to detail!

The owners are great at communicating! We actually were able to meet them when we arrived at the property because he was repairing bear damage done on an out building. Very nice couple and very accommodating to our needs. Beds were very comfortable as well which was a big plus for our party. Begin from Texas, it was a bit of an adjustment to the long daylight hours , ha!

Very nice place, great views from the front of the house. The house was clean and comfortable. We were visiting family and doing some fishing. We visit at least once a year and would definitely consider renting again.

Comfortable

Everything I wanted for my family. Two very minor things. 1) the upper cabinets in the kitchen were a mystery. 2) no tissues. (I like tissues in the bedrooms and bath rooms) Of all the places I’ve stayed. This is the one I’d keep coming back too.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 June 2024
I'm glad to read the house worked well for your family, and you'd come back again. You and your family were excellent guests and always welcome! Thank you for the suggestion about liking tissue in the bedrooms. Something we can definitely do for our upcoming guests. If you're referring to the upper cabinets being pretty high, that they are. When we had the kitchen remodeled, we decided to push them to the ceiling to open it up a bit, but they can be hard to reach. We do have a step stool next to the wine cooler. I'll make sure to let future guests know it's there for easier access reaching the upper cabinets. Thanks again

We had an amazing stay, with the host providing a thoughtful starter pack of snacks, coffee, and sundries to make our first day easier. The whole place was comfortable and spotless.,

From the moment we arrived, this place exceeded every expectation. The space itself is beautifully designed, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. It felt less like a rental and more like staying at a stylish friend’s home. Communication was prompt, warm, and helpful throughout — exactly the kind of attentiveness that takes a good stay and makes it a great one.The value is genuinely hard to beat. We left feeling like we’d gotten so much more than we paid for. If you’re on the fence, book it. You won’t regret it.
