Property was absolutely beautiful. Wonderful outdoor space and kitchen stocked with coffee and condiments. Definitely felt at home! Pool was perfectly heated and hot tub was great for the chilly evenings. Definitely need a car to get around to restaurants, grocery store, etc. Highly recommend!!!

This is an outstanding house. It was stocked with almost every amenity you would need if you’re coming from a distance and can’t bring anything but your own personal items as we did. The hosts were very responsive to any questions we had. Beautiful sunrises over Four Peaks and Weaver’s Needle which we caught almost every day. We came primarily to hike and there are numerous options very close by. We also wanted solitude and the house is in a very quiet neighborhood. Several horse trail ride companies nearby. We had a great stay and would return without question.

Our host was very thoughtful. They created a space where we felt right at home. The porch heaters were an added touch that made our evenings so enjoyable while the kids swam in the heated pool. The location was great for hiking and outdoor activities.

Had the house for 16 days the hot tub only partially worked for the last two Also the water feature/waterfall didn't work the whole time we were there. Later the owners said that they don't run the waterfall in the winter. The heated pool and hot tub and waterfall were all deciding factors in renting this property. I paid extra for the heated pool. I would like some kind of compensation for not having a hot tub the whole time and when they did get it working only half of the jets worked. By the sign in book it hadn't worked for quite some time. The house and grounds are beautiful and the house is well stocked. It is a bit out of the way off the beaten track so allow for a lot of extra time in driving into the town area. I had a group of 8 women there so the pool and outdoor water features were very important to us.
