Very good

Loved the property and location. Easy to get back and forth from Midtown to the cabin. Great cabin with modern amenities. You don't feel cramped in this house. Loved the fenced-in backyard for our furry friends. Enjoyed our quiet mornings and nights on the porch. We will be back!
I was pleasantly surprised by the home. The pictures don't do it justice. It's very comfortable and updated. I really appreciate having a secure back yard area for my dogs. They enjoyed sunning themselves and I didn't have to worry they could get out. Lots of room for 4 people. The hot tub was a nice treat too. I appreciated the dog blankets we were given (with the cost of the pet deposit). There was a lot of wildlife going by. Deer, elk and several times we saw a herd of wild horses. We'll definitely stay here again.
