Idyllic historic home with stunning valley views

My husband and I had a lovely time staying here. The hosts have paid superb attention to detail both in the renovation of the home as well as the setup to make it a VRBO. The views of the snowy mountains and valley were incredible, and we had a delightful time watching the deer and the birds at the birdfeeder.

Farm House with Modern Upgrades

This property is very nice. The home has been remodeled and the renovation was very well done. The original charm has been retained while many modern conveniences have been added. The house has all new appliances, the cookware, glasses and utensils are all of good quality. The location was perfect for our group. Quiet, comfortable, and well appointed.I added a photo to illustrate a view out of one window from inside the home. We will definitely return for another stay.

Clean & Cozy

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this immaculate and beautifully decorated home. The owners have done a wonderful job of keeping the home’s historic charm while at the same time offering all the modern conveniences. We enjoyed movies, puzzles, and games, but the most special memory was soaking in the hot tub while taking in the spectacular farm and mountain views at sunset! It was just what we needed to get away and relax with family! Kelly was accommodating and quickly answered any questions. I highly recommend this property if you are looking to stay in the area!
