Our family’s first Christmas vacation was a dream made reality thanks to Kim and Payton’s Peak. We are endlessly grateful to rent the space and make memories. The reservation process was seamless and Kim was very responsive to all of my many questions. Huge thanks to Joshua for being the best property manager! Definitely recommend booking!

This place was insanely beautiful. Breathtaking views, an incredible kitchen, and the Christmas décor was chef’s kiss. We originally expected a full house of family, so we didn’t get to experience it the way it’s probably meant to be enjoyed (packed and lively)… but even with a smaller group, it was still amazing—and honestly, way more house than we needed.I will admit: this was my first time staying in a super wood-heavy home, and between the normal creaks and the fact that I watched a horror movie right before coming… some of us were not sleeping peacefully at first. That said, the hosts are incredibly generous and thoughtful—they even left items for a charcuterie board. Overall: wonderful experience, absolutely would stay again.

Amazing place for large family gatherings!!

So much space!! We had 11 adults and 10 kids and still everyone had privacy when needed. Compared to renting multiple smaller homes this was less expensive and much better for being able to hang out all together.

Great stay for our large family!!!

Overall, we had a great time, our family age ranged from toddler to senior, and we all had something to do and enjoy our time at the place and with one another. Pictures don't do justice on how large the place really is. We just had one bathroom shower that was not able to shut off, but Josh was able to fix the issue the next day. I would highly recommend this place!

Our family Thanksgiving at Payton's Peak was outstanding. There was plenty of room for all twenty-four of us to spread out individually and to come together as a group. The kitchen and pantry areas were roomy and allowed multiple cooks to be in there together. The three tables and plentiful seating allowed family to hang around in the kitchen, which is a great room with perfect views. The property also allowed for a daily hike together and the yard was large for the small kids to run and play. A big help was the house’s maintenance guy, Josh, who responded to every question. Plus, he stopped each day and took our trash to the dumpster (usually without us even seeing him). The owner, Kim, was very accommodating and had the Christmas tree put up and decorated for our arrived – what a beautiful site. We hope to be able to return for another family event.

Fantastic property

This is our 2nd time staying here. We were a large extended family staying here for an After Christmas Annual Gathering. Payton’s Peak was perfect for our 22 guest and one toddler group. So many fun things to do for all age groups. Plenty of space to cook and play together. The caretaker Josh was very helpful. Would definitely stay again!

This property is great for large groups. We celebrated a big family birthday here and there is plenty of room for large families. Our only issues were cleanliness. Several sheets had to be changed due to stains and hair. One bathroom that was supposed to be locked was not and it was in poor condition. Otherwise, the property is in an excellent location on the resort with a lot to do in the surrounding area. Host communication was sometimes delayed but there is a caretaker very close by who is very attentive. Make sure to get his contact number when you check in.

For the second time, our group of long-time friends met for Thanksgiving at Payton’s Peak. It is ideal for our large group. The kitchen is so perfect for preparing the big meal. The children have lots space to run and play. We’ll be back.
