Our host was very friendly, accommodating and attentive. The property was well kept and clean, had great views, and it was conveniently located next to hiking and biking trails.I would definitely stay at this property again.
This property exceeded our expectations. It is conveniently located close to town while still offering a peaceful and private setting. The host was exceptionally attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The home was spotless, well‑stocked, and tastefully decorated. Our group of nine had ample space to gather comfortably or enjoy quiet time individually. I would gladly rent this property again without hesitation.
Absolutely incredible property with a very attentive, helpful host and top notch views. Everything feels luxurious - from the stunning kitchen, to the soft sheets, comfortable beds, and cozy living room. This truly couldn’t have been a better experience. We didn’t want to leave. Without a doubt will be back!
The host was very communicative and helpful! We were a large group but the house was more than enough space for all of us. The check-in and out process was very easy and made our stay relaxing. It was nice to be able to enjoy the weekend without worrying about a long list of things to do before leaving. All we were asked to do was load the dishwasher! The photos of the house almost don’t do it justice. There are breathtaking views from the upstairs living space (with fireplace), bedrooms, and the deck! We were blown away.
