Beautiful place! Perfect for a larger group and has everything you need for a vacation stay. Close to activities but also suited well with the pool table and games to enjoy time if you just want to stay in. We loved our stay and would definitely select this home again.

Wow. What a beautiful house. We had eight adults and there was more than enough room for all. Really enjoyed serving meals at the huge island and huge dining room table. The hottub was excellent after a long day of hiking. We would definitely stay here again. Very clean and well maintained as well.
