The host was attentive. The house is old and in need of some repairs. Ran out of propane the first time we tried to cook so we brought a bunch of groceries home. Area was pretty. Our problem was VRBO. On site, ad says all fees included, when in fact, when we clicked the pay button an additional 200.00 plus was added for various fees.

The house was wonderful. Three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. One of the bedrooms has bunk bed one has a queen and the master has a king. The hot tub has working jets and stayed at 103 the whole time we were in it even though it was 20 outside and snowy. I highly recommend relaxing in the hot tub under the stars, it was the most beautiful and relaxing way to spend the night. Tip, when the GPS tells you that you have reached your destination ignore it and keep driving a little further to the next house, it tried to send us to the wrong house. The host was very good with communication and answered all questions promptly to insure we were as comfortable as possible. Highly recommend staying here!!! The only thing that bothered me is when vrbo says all feed included but then i ended up paying over 100 extra in fees, but that is an issue with vrbo and not the host or the home which we loved
