House is exactly as pictured. We came out fromCalifornia to have thanksgiving with our Michigan student. House had all the pots and pans and dishes available for use. We had easy access in and direct communication with our property manager. The last day we were snowed in and they left a shovel available to get us out. Definitely recommend this house!

This was one of the most beautiful places we have stayed! Very well stocked kitchen. Thoughtful to have coffee to get us started and a bottle of wine! Beds were very comfortable. spectacular view.

There was a very musty smell on the main floor. Luckily they had candles that could be lit. There was also no hot water tea kettle to use for hot tea. Otherwise very well equipped and supplied. Very clean inside. It is too bad the kayaks could not be used because it was beautiful weather for kayacking.
