Exceptional communication from James. Everything was clean, tidy, and clearly labeled. The downstairs game room was fantastic and well furnished. Only small downside is a smaller number of bathrooms.

Winter Wonderland

We had an amazing time at this beautiful home! The acreage made it feel nice and private, and we had a great view of elk passing through the property. We went snowshoeing at The Gold Creek Trail, and were able to borrow snowshoes from the house which was great. Everything was well stocked and clean.

The property was great. Everything looked exactly like the listing. It was isolated, quiet, and huge. There were plenty of high quality games (darts, pool, air hocky) and a great sound system in the basement. Outside there were hammocks, a hot tub, basketball hoop, cornhole, and a grill. There was nothing this place didnt have.The house is a short drive (10 minutes) from stores, fast food, and gas stations so there is no problem if you forget to bring something.It is the perfect place for a weekend getaway.

Great !!! A few quirky things

House great , communication with owner great .. maintenance person shows up early am don’t announce her self when we said hi just ignored us. Contacted owner said miscommunication she should not be there at that time. Took her 30-40 minutes to get in garage where work was being done!! Tried to lower temp on thermostat to 71 but someone else had remote control of it and raised it to 76 for a couple of minutes. Would not allow anything lower than 73 , no fans in place.
