Great location, beautiful home and plenty of kitchen supplies. The beds felt a little unstable, and the door to the small bedroom was pretty difficult to open, but overall a great stay. The hot tub and views were incredible! Host left detailed instructions and were very accommodating.

It was easy check-in. We were unable to use the TV because the remote needed batteries. They said there were some in the kitchen, but they were not. I also called about the mice. I asked for a trap. They said there were some there, but there was not. It is a beautiful space and we enjoyed hiking at the park. We did not use the hot tub or the pool.
