10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2023
Beautiful, comfortable, relaxing, peaceful. The location is central to the small towns and natural’s beauty. We enjoyed spending the days out and about and returning to our home away from home with beautiful views and great outdoor space. It is spacious, beautifully decorated with comfortable sofas and beds. We also enjoyed time outside in the evenings listening to the night sounds of nature and sitting by the fire pit. The host was very responsive in meeting our requests, but respected our privacy. I would highly recommend this vacation rental. A definite 10+ out of 10.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2019
The view from the front of the rental was amazing, such beautiful tree-covered mountains. The rental is a basement apartment built into a hill, and it has nice windows along the front wall. The bedroom with a king didn’t have windows, and the bed was hard to get in and out of (tight fit, would have been easier if I’d been able to crawl in).
The owners live upstairs and were very helpful and responsive. Most renters’ reviews didn’t mention the noise of a basement apartment, but it’s pretty typical. A sweet spot was the wonderful piano playing of one of the owners. He was very considerate and only played a couple of times during the week we rented, and asked if it was okay first.
