Love the house , enjoyed the hot tub . you are on the side of the mountain surrounded by trees. If you walk outside around the side of the house, you can see a Mountain View, but from the house the tree is blocked it. I would come stay at this house again. We really enjoyed it.

We really enjoyed our time here along with young child and dog. The house was a peaceful setting and had all the needed amenities. It was also close town and several hikes that made for it easy to come and go.
Our two-year old now refers to this property as his "favorite house".
