Fantastic Secluded Luxury Property

The house and surrounding property are simply beautiful. The hosts are responsive and friendly to deal with. The 1 thing missing is a coffee maker but there are several alternative methods available that made the process fun. All in all a fantastic place with beautiful surroundings and trails to explore.

Second Year in a Row!

We loved our stay last year so much we celebrated Christmas and New Years family retreat again this year! All kind words previously mentioned still apply. Our host has created a wonderful home away from home, fully equipped and off the grid to boot! It doesn’t get any better than this…if you know you know. Many thanks and hope to stay again soon.

Wonderful Holiday Week

Our group had such a relaxing and enjoyable stay at the beautiful home, we extended our stay. The owner was so helpful and very responsive. The property was so quiet and beautiful, close to town and mountain we loved having trails right outside our door. The fireplace and floors kept the home so warm and cozy. We hope to visit again soon!

Modern comfort in the woods

This house is nice without being fussy, comfortable, and clean. The heated floors and efficient fireplace kept it warm always. Beds were super cozy and all appliances worked great. Trails right outside the back door were great for us, and it was peaceful and quiet at night. We had a lot of snow while there and needed to clear off solar panels. We also got stuck on the road leading to the house and would recommend AWD in winter for this property. Owner is available and very accommodating. Would recommend a binder in the house with check-out instructions and any other tidbits the owner would like to share with guests, as well as window treatments for bedrooms for those who are able to sleep in!
