Great mountain house

My husband, son, and I stayed here with my parents while we visited family nearby. The house was perfect for us, had a kitchen with everything we needed to cook, and was in a beautiful setting. Saw many deer outside when we sat on the porch or took a walk. We would definitely stay here again!
