Just as we imagined it would be and more. The views were amazing from all angles. Very clean house and a full functioning kitchen. We had a great weekend catching up on some much needed rest and relaxation. Our dog Jack loved all the grass to run in that wraps just about all the way around the house. Hosts were very accommodating and very responsive. We can't wait to stay again.

My family of four adults and two little dogs had a wonderful weekend at this clean, peaceful, spacious home. Owners were very friendly and very responsive to all communication. A family of 5 deer spent most of one day on the front lawn, we watched them through the large living room windows. We’ll definitely be back!

IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT RENTING THIS PROPERTY, STOP AND READ THIS REVIEW!We are avid VRBO users and also own a vacation rental ourselves, so we understand what it takes to create a true 5-star experience. I only wish our property were as nice as this one! (Don't tell my property management company!)Our experience was exceptional from the very beginning. Immediately after booking, we heard from Travis, the owner, and his communication before our arrival was wonderful. When we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the property and then we walked inside.The home was immaculate, beautifully laid out, incredibly well equipped, and exceeded our expectations in every way. Throughout our three-day stay, we continually discovered how thoughtfully everything had been prepared. There were more than enough supplies, utensils, and everything we needed to comfortably entertain our family.The views are beautiful. The area is beautiful. The property is beautiful. Most importantly, it was exactly what we hoped for, and more. It's perfect for a family or group of people to gather and enjoy each other's company.If I could give this property more than five stars, I would. Our new family lives just a few miles away, so we absolutely will be back, hopefully many times. Highly, highly recommended!

Beautiful location with a spectacular view of the valley. House is well maintained and very clean and the furniture/beds were very comfortable. Two small suggestions would be a rag/sponge for the kitchen sink and soap/body wash for the showers. We Highly recommend this place and plan to be back for the spring bird migration.
