This property was beautiful and a great size for our party of eight. The view from the deck out on to Martis Valley was incredible, and the sunsets did not disappoint! Additionally, we loved the accordion doors that opened up the dining room to the deck! It really helped to cool off the house in the morning and afternoons. However, the weekend we stayed was quite warm, and although there were fans in some of the bedrooms, it made for uncomfortably warm nights since we couldn’t open the doors or windows at night due to the property’s concerns surrounding bears. As a result, we would recommend future renters bringing up fans to help cool off their bedrooms at night in the summer.
