Everything was clean & comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. Saw elk, bluebirds. Great hiking nearby. Friendly neighborhood. Beautiful scenery.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
The house was beautiful and spotlessly clean, with plenty of room for us to spread out. The beds were very comfortable and linens/towels were good quality. The hosts were very generous in things they left for our use in the kitchen. Its a lovely area, with elk that wander onto the property occasionally to eat apples.
