Brooke and her family were wonderful guests! They took excellent care of the Magical Mountain View Retreat, treated the swim spa with respect, followed the house rules, and left the home spotless. We were so happy they were able to enjoy the beautiful mountain views and spend quality time together making special family memories. It was a pleasure hosting them, and we hope they truly felt the magic during their stay. We highly recommend Brooke and her family to any future host. They were thoughtful, respectful, and easy to host, and we would gladly welcome them back anytime. We wish them all the best and hope to see them again in the future!

This property was an amazing stay!! We had such a great time, and the hosts were awesome! They provided everything you could need and more. Plenty of entertainment within the home, and plenty of suggestions for outside as well. So peaceful and such a cool view from the back of the property. The host reached out before and during the stay making sure we had all the information we needed, and were so kind as well! LOVED the swim/spa as well (maybe our favorite part) I would highly recommend this property to anyone and everyone looking to stay in this area, and you bet we will be coming back soon! Without a doubt easy 5 star.

This is an astonishingly nice place. The property description doesn’t do it justice. I’ve never seen a VRBO so well equipped and stocked. The Mountain View is breathtaking especially at sunrise and sunset. The beds and bedding were good quality. The decor was modern and the furnishings were comfortable. The huge “swimming” spa was a real hit and it had a Mountain View. The two fire pits were a nice extra comfort. I’ll for sure come and again. Lastly, Melanie is a thoughtful and prompt proprietor. Thank you Melanie

We had an amazing stay at Magical Mountain View Retreat. The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The private backyard was a highlight, and the swim spa hot tub was perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The views were beautiful and made the stay feel very peaceful and romantic. Everything was well-maintained, and the space had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was responsive and helpful, and check-in was smooth and easy. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, romantic getaway.

OH MY! Such an amazing place! This VRBO sets a new standard for any place I’ll ever want to stay. First off they had everything we needed, including ziplock bags, first aid kits, even binoculars for bird watching, and toys/playroom for those with kids. (Not to mention every cooking supply you couldPossibly think of.) Second they take the time to make each visit personal. When we got there, they had a handwritten note for us congratulating us for our wedding, (This is our honeymoon)! Then they’ve got a guest book and a map to place pins from where you’re from! Lastly, just the kindness from texting back and forth was unmatched. This isn’t just an owned and operated VRBO that feels like you’re just another guest, this is an actual home with love, so nicely decorated, so clean, and so refreshing. Both me and my wife loved it, and even mentioned wishing we could live there exactly as they had it decorated! PS on a side note, my wife and I live very clean lives, so having clean soaps and shampoos was also a huge plus!

A True Hidden Gem — The Perfect Escape Without Leaving the City BehindIf you're looking for a getaway that feels worlds away but stays close to everything, this is it. Tucked at the end of a quiet subdivision and bordering a waterfowl refuge, this home delivered something rare — genuine peace and privacy without a long drive.The mountain views were spectacular, and waking up to nothing but nature on the refuge side made it easy to forget we were in a subdivision at all. Once inside, the outside world simply disappeared.The home itself was immaculate. Truly one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed in. Everything was comfortable, thoughtfully appointed, and felt like a home — not a rental. My wife is still talking about the rugs.For us, the combination of quiet surroundings, beautiful views, and a spotless comfortable space made this one of the best rental experiences we have ever had. If you're a couple or family looking for a peaceful retreat that doesn't require a long commute back to the city, stop looking. This is your place.We will absolutely be back.
