House was awesome! Had everything we needed and more. The kids absolutely loved it and it was very close to the mountain. Hot tub and barrel sauna were a great addition especially when you got in at around 9 am there would be deer roaming in the woods behind you. Super cool peaceful house with one of a kind amenities.

Highly recommend this house! It is perfectly located and full of everything you could need from towels and detergent to activity and babysitter recommendations. We had a few families all with children staying there and the house fit us well. The kids loved the game room downstairs while the adults loved the large dining table and living area. The host kept in constant contact to make sure we were doing well and even helped return a lost iPad that was accidentally behind in a few days. We hope to return in the future!
