I loved my stay!This was the first place that had a kitchen with plenty of appliances, utensils, and seasoning. There were plenty of towels and extra utility items that we needed for every bathroom. The bedrooms had adequate pillows and blankets. They had items for lighting camp fires, a grill, and a wonderful hot tub!The host was extremely communicative and very helpful.

Everything about our stay was great. Sarah was very responsive and helpful. The house was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The view from the deck is spectacular and the hot tub was a great hit with us. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit on cool evenings and loved exploring the surrounding area. All round a very enjoyable stay.

I asked all of the family members what they liked about the lodge so I could give you good feedback. The mattresses were liked and everyone slept well. The view was popular with all. My aunt liked her view from her window and we all liked the view from the deck. The hot tub was good and so great after a day of hiking. Having 3 bathrooms for 7 people was wonderful. That really helped a lot. The kitchen was so well stocked. Thank you for having syrup there! I didn’t bring enough and was so grateful you had more there. Thank you for the s’mores sticks. Thank you for plenty of bowls for salad, eggs, pancake mix. Thank you for the seasonings. We forgot salt and pepper. Thank you for the colander. We had plenty of seating to eat. Thank you for the towels. I appreciated the extra trash bags, the extra paper towels. The house is layed out very well for visiting. The firepit was great for s’mores. Thank you for the lighter fluid and matches. Thank you for having enough chairs at the firepit and on the deck . The thermostat worked great, house temperature was perfect, we didn’t have to adjust it. Thank you, Sarah. Your home was just lovely and we appreciate your sharing it.
