We had the most amazing time, it was so relaxing, the house was beautiful and the views were breathtaking. It was truly home away from home. I can’t wait to go back.
We had a great time. The Cabin is more dated that it appears on the photos, although it appears some recent improvements have been made. Everything was great with checkin. We may decide to stay again.
The views are amazing, the house was everything we hoped for, there was plenty to do and plenty of places to just kick back and enjoy the peacefulness and the view! Love our stay there. Ages 19 through 88 and all absolutely loved our stay.
It was a wonderful experience! We enjoyed our annual family vacation here and had a great time playing in the game room and having nightly fires! Thank you for the lovely time!
The house was fantastic and Chris was extremely responsive. There is no better view in the area, it was amazing. We could not have asked for anything more.
House is as beautiful as the pictures. View was amazing. Hosts were quick to respond. We took a day trip to Blue Knob. Truly enjoyed our short vacay. Would definitely stay here again!
