Clean, peaceful and lots of local outdoor activities.

Great property! Exactly as advertised. Very secluded and quiet. The beds and sheets were the most comfortable of any VRBO I have stayed in. Communication with the host was very fast and friendly. My wife and I look forward to staying here again!

Quiet neighborhood. Lots of room for our family of 5 adults and the pups. We liked the openness downstairs. The huge windows were so nice, not only for the view but the breezes too. Spent a lot of time in the yard. The pups loved the yard. The fenced area was secure for them. It was great weather for the hammocks during the day and a fire at night. Lots of places to hike. We didn't have any kids with us, but there were some fun things for them as well, inside and out, a treehouse, tree swing, and zipline, games, puzzles and DVDs. We saw and heard some coyotes, but not much else. Would definitely stay again!

Great property for a getaway. The hosts truly have thought of everything, including pet dishes for when you accidentally leave one at home. The deck was perfect for playing cards and games, picnicking, and just enjoying the perfect weather. Plenty of fenced space for your fur babies to play. Will definitely return.
