Very nice and well appointed and comfortable house. Plenty of room for us to relax after long days working in the heat. The owner and manager were very accommodating. We lost power overnight in a storm, and they were there at 6 in the morning to get a generator on line, to get refrigerator and basics working. Super fast internet, but we'd recommend moving the router so that it can work off the generator; we ended up running an extension cord from a working outlet. Cell service is not good in the area, so having wifi was critical to connect to the world. All told, a lovely place run by very responsive folks.

Peter and his group were wonderful guests. They were easy to communicate with, respectful of the property, and treated the house very well. I would be happy to host them again and would recommend Peter to other hosts.

Quiet backcountry home with lots of amenities

My family needed a place to stay for 1 week in between closings on our old and new homes. Renee was a very gracious host. She lives nearby and was very communicative and responsive. The house has everything a family could need for a long stay. The kids really enjoyed the ping pong table and the nearby trails. I highly recommend it.

This house was purchased and completely renovated in 2004 and was going to be part of a family compound but the adult children moved to Colorado!
