What a wonderful home. It was like a museum. Each time you entered a room you noticed something that you didn't see the last time. Extremely quiet. Beds comfortable. Everything was perfect. We had a lot of family staying the weekend with us. Enough room for everyone. Truly an experience. Highly recommended.

Family trip for my mom’s birthday, which she really enjoyed.This place was just as beautiful as the pictures. It was cold outside so we stayed in, the downstairs are is where we hung out! There were 12 of us and the house was big enough to accommodate our group.We couldn’t get the TVs to work down stairs. I was unable to reach the host. The only other problem was the trash. I totally understand you can’t leave it out, we had big trash bags and dumped it heading back home.The overall trip was worth the money, and we would definitely visit again!

Perfectly wonderful property. Accommodated 10 people comfortably with no issues. The grounds are spectacular and the back porch with its view of the mountains is out of this world. Would recommend this property highly!

Spacious accomodating home

This vacation home ranks as one of the best we've ever stayed at. Plenty of room for our large active family. We loved the tennis court and hot tub and the incredible views were definitely a highlight. The house manager was very attentive and quick to see to our every need. We would stay at this home again in a heartbeat.

Great stay

This was a beautiful property on top of a big hill overlooking the mountains. Plenty of space in a funky house. Could have used a makeover but overall a wonderful home to share and it held the bunch of us with ease. Hot-tub and tennis courts were a bonus! Thanks!
