This house is unique and has a wonderful charm about it. The views are truly magnificent.Great proximity to some beautiful riding roads and not far from the Tail of the Dragon. The host is very responsive and accommodating. There is a small rough section of road that you need to be mindful of on bigger bikes.

Nice property. Beautiful view. Well kept inside, no problem with communications with owner. Very quiet and isolated on top of a foothill-mountain. Driveway is steep, motorcyclists need to keep that in mind. We got around that well enough. The paved road to the house off highway 19/74 is twisty, and includes a final dirt/rock section that is maybe a quarter mile, but was not a problem for our motorcycles.

Friends Getaway

Overlook Escape describes this home and its surroundings perfectly! Our friends group enjoyed the comfort and convenience of this home, while relaxing and taking in the breathtaking panoramic views of the mountains on the back porch every morning and every evening. The house beautifully decorated had all the amenities of home and was very spacious. We enjoyed gathering around the table together sharing a meal and playing cards before retiring to our comfortable bedding for a great night sleep. The game room was an extra bonus! The owner (Christy) was always available for contacting and was very easy to work with. We enjoyed our stay very much, and would definitely come back. The location is minutes to town, and short drive to rafting, casino's, and beautiful scenery. We had the best time doing the rail to trails in Andrews. It was a perfect weekend getaway with friends.

Unbelievable views

We just got back from The Retreat and are already checking our calendar to return! This place is pure magic — peaceful, private, and packed with everything you’d want for a relaxing family getaway. The photos were beautiful, but the experience blew us away.From the moment we drove through the private gate, we felt like we’d entered our own mountain paradise. The home is immaculately clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with both comfort and beauty in mind. The beds are plush, the kitchen is stocked with real cookware (not the usual rental basics), and the views from every window are stunning.Our kids loved running free on the property while we enjoyed coffee on the porch, soaking in the stillness and birdsong. Evenings were spent grilling and making s’mores under the stars. It’s rare to find a place where everyone — from toddlers to grandparents — can truly relax and reconnect.The game room was a big hit with the kids, and we appreciated the separate space for them to hang out. Wi-Fi was a little spotty at times, but honestly, we barely noticed with so much to enjoy in and around the home.If you’re even thinking of booking, do it. You won’t find anything quite like this. The Retreat is peaceful, private, beautifully maintained, and absolutely worth it. We’re already dreaming about our next visit.
