Great host, they always responded back in less than a minute. Absolutely beautiful property, one of the most beautiful views we've ever seen. We're already planning on our next trip back!!

We really enjoyed it and it is a very nice place to stay. The only issues we had was not being able to get the fire logs to work, but it was ok. It also took a day for the hot tub to warm up; again, no problem. We did have poor cell service, but got by.

We really enjoyed the cabin and the location. The only issues were the host was not quickly responsive (the day of, someone should be available to answer within an hour or so for incoming guests); we messaged early on asking about the indoor/outdoor fireplaces (whether they were gas or firewood), we received a message that indoor was gas and outdoor was wood, when we arrived there was a note that you could pay for firewood for the outdoor fireplace (and it was not available on the property, you had to message someone to deliver it). I feel this should have been addressed when I asked about the fireplaces, so we could bring our own wood with us. Also, there was an error code on the hot tub, but there were no instructions in the house on how to fix it. We had to google it and eventually got it figured out. Other than that, no issues. We had a great time. We did fish the stream but did not catch anything - we walked several 100 yards in each direction.
