Our family, 2 adults and 3 young children, thoroughly enjoyed our time staying here! We are so glad that we chose this rental over others. We look forward to going again as soon as we can.
The house (chalet) was clean, met our needs, and is situated such that you get a beautiful mountain view to the south along with a large pasture below. On a clear night, the stars are absolutely spectacular! You have free roam of the 200 acre property, which is ringed by a mountain on 3 sides, has multiple spring-fed creeks throughout, and has a system of hikable roads and paths. It's a very lovely place that takes you back to a simpler time, where you can slow down and decompress. Yet it's within just a 25 minute drive into town if the need arises.
When asked what was their favorite thing about their stay, the children answered, "playing in the creeks", "feeding the cows apples", and "loving on the owner's dog". For mom and dad, it was being able to spend time with our children without all of the distractions of modern society, and watch them explore and just be kids.
As for our hosts, Martin and Melody, we couldn't have asked for better! They are fantastic people. They really went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Truly appreciate their hospitality and willingness to share their property and time with us.
Lastly, be forewarned, there is no wifi, internet, cable TV, landline or digital cellphone service at the house. They do have a nice TV with DVDs, books, magazines, and a few games and decks of cards for entertainment. We really appreciated being able to "unplug"!
