Lovely property, truly a retreat space that served us very well. We missed a proper sit down table, though there were sufficient options available. Access to the trails, lakes, sites was appreciated. Could have stayed longer.

Absolutely magnificent

This place was absolutely beautiful. The house, the location, the waterfall, the atmosphere, etc. I could sit on the porch all day and listen to the waterfall. On a clear night the sky was filled with stars, we got to see a few shooting stars as well. Well worth the 13 plus hour drive to get here. I would definitely stay again.

Check in was very simple, house was very clean and ready for us. The kitchen was well-equipped, plenty of dishware, glasses, and flatware for our group. Beds were comfortable; having A/C units and a fan to move the cool air around the space made the house comfortable when we arrived; temps during our stay meant we didn't really need the A/C and could just open windows and enjoy the sound of the beautiful waterfall! Great place for a relaxing, get-away-from-it-all few days. Had fun exploring the river/waterfall, cooking together, spending an afternoon at Christine Lake, and just exploring the area.

Excellent location!

Loved the waterfall right out the door. My teens spent most of the time exploring around the falls. Christine lake was amazing. Went there 3 days in a row. The house was clean and well stocked with necessities. Only issue to mention was there was only ac units in 2 of the bedrooms so all the doors had to stay open to help keep the rest of the house cool. Other than that 5 stars across!

A Beautiful Home sitting on the Stunning Falls

The home offers an absolutely stunning view of Crystal Falls. During our stay, we went hinking to the Giant Falls, Devil's Slide, Artitist Bluff, and Sabbaday Falls. It was a memorable stay for all of us (two adults and one dog).
