Family time at mountaintop
I had the best time there with my daughters, their husbands, daughters, my kid sister and my four legged grandson ( party of 9 ) We all fell in love with the house, love that kitchen and back porch, well the entire house actually. One of the best part was waking up early in the morning and enjoying that cup of coffee on that porch on the rocking chairs listening to the birds chirping and watching the humming birds. The only problem is phone service is horrible but is the entire area, I was only able to find better phone connection in the master bedroom and because it’s a pet friendly home Not everyone makes sure their pets are well groomed. But I will Definitely be making a future reservation at this property again.

Large pet friendly family home.
Large comfortable home. Huge covered deck. View is of the woods, not really the mountains. We enjoyed our stay and will most definitely return sometime. Would be amazing in the fall when the leaves are turning.

Clean and spacious getaway for our family
Our family enjoyed our stay at this house! It was very private, stocked with all that we needed, and the beds were quite comfortable. Everything was very clean! Just a minor thing to be aware of, the wifi is not reliable at all, but I not sure there is anything the owners could do about that. All in all, it was a nice house and we would gladly stay there again.
