The porch is wonderful! Very comfortable furnishings. Sits on a hill that makes the view, provides space for kids and dog to run. With two floors, the late talkers or early risers can have their space!

This was a perfect location to get away and decompress. The screened in porch was comfortable even in the heat of the summer. The open property on the side of a mountain allowed for a great view of the stars at night. Within 30 minutes there is several state and national parks with great trails and walking around the property was safe and convenient.

*** BEWARE ***THIS PROPERTY REQUIRE POWER SUPPLY AND ANY OUTAGE YOU ARE DOOMED FOR EVERYTHING.(NO CELL SIGNAL, NO WIFI, NO WATER, NO HEATING) INQUIRE AND CONFIRM REFUND POLICY IF YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT EARLY DUE TO NO POWER While views are great. This property require electricity for everything !!. YES. You need electricity even to take a dump !!. We stayed for 3 nights and power went down middle of second day. Since only way of communication is wifi (down due to power), We have to drive 7 miles out to make phone call. Since water comes out of well (No intermittent storage) you need power for water. While we understand wifi not working, Water not being there is a shock and surprise. When we told the owner, all we got is "yeah you need power to get the water from well" in a condescending tone. This left us very unhappy and no choice but to leave the property almost a day early.My SummaryPros1, Great location2. Clean property3. Amazing views and serenity.Cons1. Horrible kitchen with no dishwasher2. WiFi has no back up. Power out. You have no way to communicate.3. No back up water tank. Power out you have no water.4. Unfriendly owner. Very cocky and condescending tone. Definitely worth a trip. Bring your own battery back up..
