Home Away From Home
Our Stay at Balcony Downs was astonishing to say the least. The property is gorgeous - from the “ice house” cottage that we stayed in to the mountains in the background, to the trails in the back of the property. We have a 7 year old and a 1 year old and the both of them had so much fun as well! Just walking the property together, or swinging on the tree swings. We enjoyed a beautiful fire outside and made s’mores on evening. The cottage had cut wood which was great! Everything you need is in the cottage as well; from towels and extra blankets and pillows, to every basic kitchen appliance plus extras. We made breakfast every morning instead of going out and made dinner a couple times as well. This was our first time here and it will not be out last - we are already planning on when we would like to return! Thank you again for everything!Cheers,Melanie

Perfect Retreat…
This was the most charming property I’ve visited in awhile and if you are looking for a place to recharge and get away from the craziness of life, this is the place. The property is delightful, the views are amazing and the hosts are the most lovely you’ll meet! Definitely treat yourself to get away, recharge and be close to nature!

Perfect Quiet Getaway
The property is incredible, no need to run around to go anywhere or see anything! The perfect views are from the porch! Wifi and A/C were perfect in this out of the way location. We’ll be back!
