Great mountain getaway

We had an awesome getaway in the mountains with our friends (2 couples). It had everything we needed, essentially 2 master bedrooms and we really enjoyed the views from the deck with our coffee. The drive was steep and a little stressful but as Tom says, get there before dark and go slow and you will be fine. Would definitely recommend this place!

Incredible views.

We were lucky enough to stay when fall colors were at there peak! Incredible views from the home and everywhere we went. The home has plenty of room to spread out on your own in your room or to be together for meals and visiting. Comfortable bedrooms, roomy showers, and well equipped kitchen. First few days we were nervous driving the mountain roads, but quickly adjusted. We only saw one bear near the home, but saw many while touring the state park. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice and comfortable

4.5 stars. Very nice view. Road is narrow and twisty. We couldn't get up one steep section due to slippery rain but luckily there were a couple routes available. The place was decently equipped and nicely decorated although it is starting to show it's age and minir paint/updates would make it sparkle. Overall, a pleasant experience.

Why they chose this property

We love property. It feels very spacious and relaxing in a very quiet neighborhood. It has the perfect house plan. Lots of privacy. Great views from every room.

What makes this property unique

All of the bedrooms, the game room and the great room all have mountain views! The hot tub is very nice and there is a swing on that level. It is partially covered by the upstairs deck and is very relaxing. The two decks are connected with stairs.
