Great Stay

We had a great stay!! House and grounds were very nice in Hounds Ears. Plenty of room and extremely well stocked. Everything was very nice and the owners were very responsive. Only issue was water heaters had a little trouble keeping up with demand as it was very cold out. Would be a great place to stay any time of year
