Great place

Checking in and out was a breeze! Instructions were perfect. Communications with property manager was great! The house was beautifully situated among the trees with incredible mountain views! The deer were plentiful and seemed so comfortable grazing where we could watch. It snowed the day we arrived and then some more the following day. It was STUNNING and such a treat! Highly recommend this sweet little cottage! Thank you for the cozy place with incredible views to catch up with my girlfriends and enjoy some quality time together!

Everything about the cottage was wonderful. The host was excellent with communication. I'm not sure who showed up to shovel the snow off the porch and out of the driveway but it was very appreciated! The deer that walked the property everyday were a treat too!
