We had a quick one night stay, but this place was all we could ask for. The host is top notch and very easy to work with. We had a truck and trailer, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a spot to park to avoid any issues. Will definitely stay here again when we get the chance.

We needed a place to stay for one night to attend my son's graduation nearby and this place was great! Everything was clean, nice, and looked just like the photos. Plenty of room, large beds, clean linens, and lots of towels provided, as well as coffee pods for the Keurig machine. Everything went perfectly smoothly, and I really appreciated that our host made the extra effort to turn on the swamp cooler before we arrived since it was so hot! For such a short trip, we didn't spend much time there but there were lots of nice amenities provided like a grill, a fireplace, multiple televisions, movies and puzzles, etc. We wished we could have stayed longer! I hope this place is available next summer when we have to come back for another graduation, because we would definitely book again.

July Holiday Relaxation

Very cozy with all the amenities we needed. The neighbors on this split were very quiet and friendly. We loved the Traeger grill. Tons of wildlife around during our stay. Only thing we lacked was a washer dryer. Will use againHost was very prompt to answer any questions.

Spacious enough for 6 adults

We were very comfortable in the home! It was very clean. My only critique is the dated bathrooms. They were fine but need updating.

Good

It was a nice roomy place. Only problems were the bad smell of the water in the showers and the fire being so close to the property. Other then that it was a good.

Dear Micaela, Thank you for your comments. I am taking the opportunity here to add a bit more information as to what was happening and how we responded. The smell of the water was addressed as soon as you brought it to our attention. The smoke was unfortunate and due to an out of control wild fire, Blue 2 Fire, in the near mountains. We appreciate you staying with us, and the communication regarding the fire situation. Thank you, Alto Pines Retreat
