The house was wonderful! The mattresses are very comfortable, which was a very nice surprise. We were able to cook a full Thanksgiving meal and never had to do without anything. The kitchen is very well stocked. The managers were available and responsive.

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
The house is in a beautiful location at the top of the mountain. Its a good size house with a great view. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The screened in porch was a great spot to relax at the end of the night, around the fire. The only major issue was there was no coffee maker. There was a coffee pot on the counter, next to the keurig, but no coffee maker. We had planned to do drip coffee and had to run out to buy pods instead. The listing and check-in instructions said there was both and coffee grounds were provided, so I'm assuming it was broken and not replaced or in the locked pantry.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
When we rent homes, it is important that there is outdoor space for eating, relaxing and enjoying the mountain views. The description of this property showed a good combination of an attractive home and an extensive deck that had both a screened-in porch and an outdoor dining area. The home itself is very spacious with high end furniture and appliances. It was very clean and met all expectations. However, the outside areas, which we had looked forward to, were disappointing. The entire screening for one of the walls of the screened-in porch had fallen onto the porch floor and left an opening for insects and birds to become trapped in the screened part of the room. The cushions for the outdoor dining table were stained and covered in moss. The entire porch had not been cleaned for some time. We tried to call the rental agent twice but was put on hold by the automatic answering system. The home is beautiful and super clean, but we were disappointed by the outdoor amenities.
