We had a wonderful winter getaway at this lovely spot. Host was welcoming, communicative and had all the house instructions easily laid out for us. We loved playing in the snow and enjoying the lovely mountain views! We will certainly consider coming back in the summer to make use of the water feature! Thank you!

The host was welcoming and, most importantly for us, very responsive. We needed help with a couple of things and she immediately texted back with the solution.The setting for this property is beautiful - open fields with a view to the mountains - which was all the more spectacular with the fall foliage.The house itself was very clean and orderly, and worked well for six adults. There were numerous entertainment options, TV, hot tub and games, and several beautiful hiking options nearby.

This house had it all! When I read the description it checked all of the boxes! We had two families of 4 and the house was perfect. The kids loved having their own space upstairs! We appreciated the board games, the connect four, foosball, outdoor toys and PacMan!!! Lots of outdoor space to play. The hot tub was sparkling clean. We had smores by the fire pit. We also loved fishing in the pond - having the picnic table down there was perfect! One recommendation would be to store the paddle boat upside down as it was filled with brown water so we couldn’t use it. Property owner was very responsive to questions! The icing on the cake was that the property is pet friendly. Our Boston Terrier enjoyed her time there also! The area was fantastic with so much to see and do - farms, hiking, fishing, ice cream. Highly recommend this property for a getaway! Would love to see it in the winter!
