We loved staying at this beautiful and well-appointed house! Comfortable beds, thoughtful details, great view, everything was absolutely perfect!
This was such the perfect choice for a last minute getaway. You will not be disappointed in the decor, layout, view, and communication with the property manager. The unit was clean, well appointment, and the experience was above five star from start to finish. I cannot recommend the home enough, and I am making plans to come back soon. Ten stars!

The home was nicely decorated and views magnificent. Response time from the hosts was top notch.We had 6 adults and cooked our dinners there - but ventured to DeSoto falls during the day. There was plenty of room and we were all very pleased with the layout and well stocked kitchen. The wi-fi was strong and no issues working remotely which was a plus!We brought kayaks and my husband fished at dawn in the small lake that was walking distance. The neighborhood dog was very friendly and we enjoyed her greeting us as we had coffee in the front porch looking out at the beautiful views. Overall I think it is 4.5 because it is so remote and there is a lot of construction. Waze could not even find it, but the management team was super quick and helpful to drop us a pin.
This was one of the most beautiful places we have stayed. The house was clean and well decorated. Beds were comfortable and clean. Spacious kitchen and living room. Hot tub and balcony was a plus. Front porch with the view of the mountain was perfect for coffee mornings. It’s a must we stay here again!
