Our large family loved our stay at Sunset Ridge! Whether hiking or shopping, everything was in close proximity. The kitchen was well set up and the "treats" throughout were such a thoughtful addition. Karen's communication was the absolute best! Although we had some bad weather, it didn't interfere with us having a grand time. We put the puzzle table to good use and we loved cheering our Dawgs to victory over Bama! Go Dawgs!! Sunsets were magnificent!

We are a group of 9, 70 something ladies in a Book Club. NONE of us are willing to stay any place less nice than our homes and we all want our own beds. This lovely spot has worked wonderfully on two occasions and we will probably return. Exceptionally clean and spacious. The contact person for this house is extremely helpful and friendly - even when I needed her assistance several times this trip. I recommend it highly!

We had a large group of family getting together and this property was perfect. It had plenty of space for us, the views were amazing, and they even had baby/kid items and toys. Karen was very responsive and helpful when any questions arose. We were all already talking about coming back again before the trip was even over.

Lovely Mountain Chalet

My friends and I had an awesome stay at Sunset Ridge in Clayton. The home was beautifully appointed and the layout was perfect for our large group. Check in and check out went extremely smoothly and the guidebook Karen provided about the area was very helpful for the days we wanted to venture into town. We came in stressed and left out refreshed! I’m already planning another visit!

Great Getaway Spot!

We stayed for three nights and wish we could have stayed longer! There are plenty of things close by in terms of hikes, wineries, goats on things. But if all you did was stay inside you couldn’t go wrong. Great communication with the host. Comfy, Cozy, plenty of room

Great idea to stay longer next time! I say the same thing when I come up to the house with my family. There is so much to do and see and we just scratch the surface on a quick getaway. I would say a week is perfect because you can have plenty of time to relax in between adventures!

Great house for large family gatherings

This house was great for our extended family vacation. There are lots of comfortable bedrooms and multiple living areas (inside and out) so everyone can spread out and have their space. The kitchen was well stocked and spacious. The kids enjoyed the ping pong table, games, and big tv in the basement. The location near Clayton is great, but the steep, winding road going up to the house can be tricky (especially at night).
