The property had a gorgeous view from a wide comfortable porch. It’s an older, well maintained house with a fully stocked kitchen. Communication with the host was easy with quick responses.

One of the best spots I've stayed in. The mountain view is spectacular. The house was clean, comfortable, cozy, and well-stocked. The property is quiet and private. My minivan didn't have any trouble with the road. The host communicated expectations and recommendations well and was responsive when I had questions.All in all, the weekend stay was ideal. My wife and I were already planning to come back while driving away.

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING about this home was beyond awesome! The hosts have done a wonderful job of making this a place where guests are comfortable and not lacking for anything. The views --- OMG stunning. Once you master the drive up the mountain, it becomes a fun adventure. If you haven't been, and are checking out the reviews - this is another one to add to the YES, BOOK IT!

The location of the house was not at all where I thought it would be based on the map in the listing/description. It was 15 minutes further away. That being said, the views were amazing, house was clean & wifi good.

We apologize for the location not being where you were hoping. I appreciate you pointing that out. I’ve spoken with vrbo/homeaway/expedia & they have corrected the location on all their sites, along with any other sites they manage. I worked with them to make sure it’s correct. So glad you loved the views. They’re spectacular!

You can't get any more mountain top than this house. The view was impressive. The house was clean, the beds and living room furniture were compfortable. The pictures are accurate to the listing. The first half of the drive up the mountain was pretty easy, but the second half is pretty narrow and steep. It would be pretty tight if you encountered a vehicle coming the opposite direction. Luckily, by the time you get to where the road narrows, there is only one or two other houses.The host was very responsive to questions. We would stay herer again.
