Thank you so much for the 10/10 rating! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cozy decor and those beautiful mountain views from the deck. It was our pleasure to assist with your questions, and we're glad our maintenance team could resolve the issue quickly so you could get back to relaxing in the hot tub. We would love to host you again for another five-star stay!
The property was just as decribed, well stocked, comfortable, roomy, ample parking. It was easy to stay in contact with our host and all instructions we outlined in the welcome binder. The only thing missing was the gate code for families arriving late. One quick message and all taken care of. Wwould definitely stay again.messaginform
