Absolutely beautiful home and stunning view. Enjoyed my stay at this amazing home. I wish it was a longer stay, but we plan to return next year since we loved it so much. Clean home and all the amenities was a plus. Our family watched the polar express together in the amazing movie room, played some pool, enjoyed a fire and took family pictures. Great family memories were made in this home. Thank you so much for being a fantastic host.

This home is beautiful and so well appointed. Our family stayed here for Christmas and it could not have been more perfect. The host had decorated it beautifully for Christmas! It is evident that a lot of thought and hard work went into planning and building this home. The host was very responsive to any messages. VRBO did not send us the access code to the property prior to arrival and I contacted the host who was quick to help out. Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The weather was perfect and 2 of our group even caught a few fish! We would definitely love to return.
