We went with several others, some who had been going to the area for almost 50 years. The entire experience was wonderful! Extremely clean, well stocked, views were awesome. The owners checked in to make sure everything was okay. We have already decided to return next year for additional days.

Perfect Mountain getaway

The property is secluded and very comfortable. You just sit out on the front Stone porch and enjoy the beautiful view of the valley in front of you in the mountains and listen to the stream.. we felt like we were at our grandma’s house so comfortable and very spacious.

Family trip

We had a blast staying hereThere is so much nature and things to doOn a rainy day we took the kids the next town over to the discovery museum , and we saw several caves and waterfalls. Not to mention the creek running down the mountain on the property. On our last day there was an amazing lighting storm over the mountains. I recommend this place for anyone who wants a quiet relaxing vacation.
