Excellent Location

Quiet secluded location. Clean, cozy, and comfortable. This spacious well-furnished home accommodated 3 couples very well. Very Nice game room. Great fireplace. Kitchen has more amenities than expected or encountered in our travels. Great porch with nice outside furniture. Nice fire pit area. Excellent communication and response from the property managers.

Very nice house and property - beautiful location!!

We LOVED staying here. So beautiful - pastures to view and nearby trails and waterfalls for hiking. Lots of room in the house with two living areas, 3 full bedrooms and one pull-out couch in a separate room, so 4 single ladies were well accommodated :-) Would definitely like to return!!

Comfortable home, fantastic property!

This home was even more impressive than advertised. We all agreed that the photos cannot do it justice! The setting is beautiful, so quiet, and with views of the mountains and nearby pastures, as promised. We stayed Christmas week when the temperatures dipped to below 0, but the house was warm, cozy, and spacious for the 6 of us (4 adults, 2 children, and a dog). The only minor shortcoming is that the house could use some detail dusting (e.g., closet louvers, baseboards) and would likely only be an issue if one is highly allergic; more importantly, the kitchen and bathrooms were immaculate. We brought everything we thought we would need with us, but still, the kitchen was very well stocked with everything - a wine opener, garlic press, good pot, pans, dishes, etc. We inadvertently left behind a couple of items and these were sent back to us quickly, for which we were immensely grateful. A perfect stay! I highly recommend this property.
