From the moment we walked in we realized the pictures hadn't done this place justice. The views from the porch and in fact from every window had us snapping pictures non-stop as the lighting over the mountains and lake changed and created new vistas. The house is cozy yet spacious, and so comfortable and well layed out. It is extremely clean and the decor is tasteful and well thought out without being cluttered. The location not only affords amazing views, but is also private with wildlife as the only neighbors. As remote as it seems - it is just minutes to walk to downtown for shopping, restaurants, pizza or simply entertainment. When we chose to eat in, the grocery store was a mere half mile away. Thirty minutes in any direction was hiking, waterfalls, scenic overlooks, and museums. As much as we loved exploring the area, returning to spend time on the deck was always a favorite pastime! We are dreaming of when we can return. I can't think of a thing I'd change except that we need to find a way to stay longer. I must also add that although we haven't personally met the employees of Morton and Furbish, we feel as if we know them and they know us. Their thoughfulness and communication made us feel genuinely cared for.
