Winter getaway

We had a great time in the snow. The hot tub was clean and a nice treat after being outside all day. The house was well kept and had everything we needed.

Relaxing Getaway

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The fireplace was great for the rainy weekend! The deer and squirrels were fun to watch. The kitchen was fully equipped for all of our needs. We would love to return!

Cozy Place

Place was very cozy. I love that it was pet friendly but didn’t smell like it. Living room TV was difficult to figure out how to change the input. I did it once and could never figure out how to do it again

Nice place to stay

the back sliding door was nearly impossible for most of my family too open. It needs a roller rebuild to function correctly. bedroom doors did not close & latch. otherwise, it was a great experience.

Awesome house. But non-emergency numbers don't work.

Awesome house with a good room plan. Claen, nice, bright. Hot tub was clean. Snow was right on time) But there were electrical outages and after the alarm was taking every time we open one of the outside doors. We have tried to reduce the volume and accidentally put the house armed. So, if we were open any door there were an alarm drilling. We try to call 4 after hours numbers and all didn't work and I got answers only next day morning. The parking spot was a little slope. House has a lot of usfull supplies and sharp knives.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. The owner was able to work with the alarm company overnight to disarm the alarm. Apologies for missing the late night call, but happy we were able to get the issue resolved in a timely manner.

Switchback mountain

We made fantastic memories at switchback mountain aka Nine Pines. We nicknamed it switch back mountain because the amount of turns you take to get up to the house are so many it feels like you're climbing switchbacks. None of us ever got the directions memorized, we needed GPS anytime we came or went. The home was well appointed, comfortable, and we appreciated the AC & comfy beds very much! Here are the pros: -well stocked supplies in kitchen (spices, foil, sandwich bags, etc) -great BBQ - nice view (you're up high on the ridge almost at the top of the treeline) sunsets were lovely! - comfy beds -nice big dining table that fit us all comfortably -comfy couches (they suck ya in!) - great AC Cons: - long drive from the entrance to the neighborhood - needs a good dusting job - needs TLC it's quite old/dated/stains on the carpets and walls - deck railing was very wobbly it made the adults nervous so we didn't let the kids out on the deck much -the only cookie sheet was half the normal size which made cooking some of our meals tricky I was very impressed with the property management company! They were very helpful and very professional! Note to renters, to use the pool/lake area you will pay $20 per person per day. So plan accordingly!
