We have stayed here a couple of times and really love this special property. The view is incredible and we love to sit around the fire pit outside and look at it. Everything is really easy and the generous check in and checkout times keep us coming back - it's so nice to not feel rushed!

This was the second time our group stayed here and it did not disappoint. Stunning views and plenty of space made for a relaxing weekend getaway. We especially enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub. We had a couple questions early on and Michael was quick to respond. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. We can’t wait to stay again!

Beautiful property, enjoyable stay.

What a lovely house and property. My group enjoyed walking the grounds, using the jacuzzi, and relaxing with our coffee on the deck early in the mornings of our two night stay. Apart from a couple of minor inconveniences, we highly recommend this property and many of the group expresses a desire to rent this property again in the future.

Great place for a family gathering

We got our family together for our annual stay. This is, by far, the best place we found to stay in several years. There’s lots of room, very clean, very well equipped. And we had quite a bit of snow left over from the week before so the kids had a lot of fun sledding. We never left the property during the four days we were there.

Winter Holiday Vacation

This property is amazing! Our group had 6 adults and 7 children, and everyone had a wonderful time. The house is very spacious with a lot of room to spread out. The backyard is huge. We were able to go sledding on the property which was a huge bonus. We definitely hope to visit again.

Incredible Property

This place was perfect for our group. We enjoy spending time outside in nature and there were so many spots to enjoy the scenery, views, trees, pond and stream here. The views and the deck were breathtaking and so were the stars. Communication was great, we were provided with everything we needed and appreciated greatly the generous check in and checkout times. We hope we get the chance to return here! Truly a gem!

Awesome Friends Getaway

Perfect place to get away with your friends and kids. There was so much to do in the house the boys had a blast. Wonderfully remote with an amazing view and relaxing jacuzzi on the deck. The place had all the kitchen accessories needed to make lovely meals and definitely enough space for all 16 of us. Would definitely return!

Beautiful, peaceful location

We enjoyed our stay very much. The grounds are beautiful, with amazing views. The location is very private. The beds were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything that we needed. Teens enjoyed the spa, the ping pong table, and frisbee golf. The toaster oven should be replaced as you can’t read the controls because it is so old. We would love to come back.

The house and surroundings are beautiful and the beds are very comfortable. We had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. However, a few items need to be corrected for the safety and comfort of future guests. There were substantial mouse droppings in the upper left cabinet over the stove. In fact, we had a furry visitor running through the living room during our last morning. The stair rail from the lower level was unsafe and one of our ladies almost fell. And some of the outlets in the bunk room were not working.

Favorite House

We have been doing an annual NYE trip for 11 years and this is our 3rd time here! It’s a beautiful property and the house has everything we need. In the past there has been snow so we took advantage of some of the hills. This year there wasn’t snow but that meant we could enjoy outside more and play yard games. We plan to stay here again!
