Beautiful location, super secluded on a dead-end road up Buck Mountain. Comfortable, clean, communicative hosts - would absolutely stay again! The road to the location is smooth and well maintained, but windy and very steep. Would recommend all-wheel drive in winter, totally fine in summer for all vehicles.

A clean and well outfitted property with gorgeous views and a great hot tub. A location off the beaten path, but close to town. You retreat away from it all but also convenient when you want to emerge.

Very clean. Well thought out. Nicely stocked. Clear communication with emails and texts. Great view of small lake from hot tub. Location feels remote up twisty mountain roads, but yet only a 10-15 minute drive from town. Must have car.

Beautiful, remote location

Our family of 4 stayed here for a week. The house is comfortable and adorable, and the deck is spectacular. I believe the property is a new vacation rental and so there were some things to work out, though the management company was excellent and extremely responsive/helpful. The road to this house is long and steep, at least 10 mins up/down. We had two vehicles and parked our camper van (small class B) at the bottom of the hill because it is not an easy trek. Worth noting. Overall excellent stay and beautiful location!

House was great, just know to add extra time for driving up and down the hill. The hot tub on the porch is perfect both morning and evenings.
