The Shepherd's Retreat, superior mountain views

Host was very responsive. We loved the location and the abundant wildlife.

This was absolutely fantastic regardless of context and definitely fantastic for the price. We did thur-sun with 2 full park days.

The place was great, very clean, plenty of amenities (kitchen items, towels, soaps, etc.) and we had an absolute blast there. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. The only two slight things I might mention that weren't great were the fact that there was a property manager staying in the apartment below us for part of our time there that we had not been told would be there. And when my girlfriend went to take a bath on our first night, we ran out of hot water before the tub was even half full. But those were minor things. Overall, it was a great experience.

This is a great place to stay at. The owner was very responsive to us. Would love to stay for a few days. Only issue is that getting there is brutal. Google and Waze had us take a route that involved 8 miles of gravel (that became a dirt trail) that dead-ended. We called the owner, he helped us with new directions. That, too, was 8 miles of gravel and rock roads. I live on a gravel road, no problem there. But this wasn't a gravel road. If you don't have big tires and a big vehicle, I would think hard about this place. The holes in the road broke the backing plate on one of our tires. But, again, place was nice and the views from this REMOTE location are amazing!
