Cozy, comfortable getaway

Jean and Bob are amazing hosts. The apartment is cozy, clean and very comfortable. The driveway can be daunting in winter but is definitely doable with 4 or all wheel drive vehicles. In summer you can drive right up to the back door, in winter there are inside steps from below. Bob is very responsive to suggestions and when we mentioned a rail for the stairs we had one the very next day! We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this to anyone interested in an enjoyable respite in the mountains.

Great stay - we’d definitely come back

This was such a cozy, comfortable place - it had everything we needed, a comfortable bed, lovely views, great location, kind and responsive hosts. My husband, our dogs and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay (and the fenced back area for the dogs was such a great touch).

Wonderful

We love to stay here when we come to visit our son. This is the second time. Jean and Bob are wonderful hosts. We saw 21 deer driving back from our son's house. The view is beautiful. Nice and quiet and relaxing.

Perfect stay!

We loved our week at Pinecone Ridge! Great views of the mountains and frequent visits from deer and turkeys! The place was clean and cozy. The bed was very comfortable and the rental had all the comforts of home. We will definitely stay again if we are in the Darby area!
