Beautifully decorated, clean home. We had a great time. The rushing water just outside your door is so peaceful. The house has such a homey feel, you never want to leave. So convenient to shopping and wonderful restaurants at the same time secluded and private. Would recommend to anyone! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Your house had all the right elements for a mountain house.... spectacular view of the creek, wonderful porches, great beds and bed linens, loved your upscale mountain decor and openness of the whole place! The kids had fine time in the privacy of their lower level space. Hope they didnt do too much damage to ping pong and pool table. Great walking trails and close to town.Loved the shopping! We'll be back!
