We had a wonderful time. Property was just as advertised. Host was quick in response to any questions we asked. Looking forward to a stay next year.

The view from this house is unparalleled! I didn’t even want to leave the house to go to town because the view was so nice! The owner was so kind and responsive! I would absolutely stay here again!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
Very nice property, older and a little quirky, but clean and very well equipped. The kitchen had everything needed to cook full meals. We only used one bed but it was very comfortable. There is no ice maker which wasn't a problem for the two of us, but a larger group that uses a lot of ice might want to pick up a bag on the way in. Also, the directions to the coffee pot are in the red binder. The roads to the property were a little hairy, but we followed the directions that the property manager provided and had no problems. Although I would recommend a truck/SUV, we saw several locals with sedans and the Amazon delivery van several times so not as bad as you would think. My only real recommendation would be to invest is some high deck chairs that you can see over the railing. Also, it is not really handicapped accessible, because of a couple of steps in the house and outside, but it if you have minor mobility issues it is easy to navigate. We had a great time and would stay again.

We travel A LOT and this is one of the cleanest rentals we have stayed in. Check in was unusual the owner met to give us the key. This was unsettling as we were three women traveling alone in a strange place. There is a lock box on the door so I am unsure why it was necessary to personally hand over the key.
Sadly there is a lack of transparency that needs to be addressed. Per the listing there are "old" vehicles in neighboring yards, that is akin to putting lipstick on a pig. You basically take an ATV trail through a junk yard up a mountain. I would NEVER attempt to take a car up the road. Its unfair of the owner to assume everyone would be safe doing so. I understand they are used to roads like this but someone who isn't familiar with navigating a "gravel road" with giant ruts gullies and hairpin turns would struggle to make the trek up safely. I drove an SUV up and it was rough. It was apparent the owner wants you to come in a certain way because it takes you by less alarming properties. GPS is a more direct route but it's STEEP!
You are never more than 50yds from an ancient abandoned camper with no doors or windows that someone actually lives in. Not to mention the 100s of sick looking feral cats or emaciated dogs tethered to the campers. The surrounding properties are visually disturbing and somewhat terrifying but the house across the road is newer. I understand that some are things the owner has no control over, however do your due diligence and read the reviews.
