Beautiful Property and Friendly Hosts!

Had a great time staying here, my wife and I tried to spend as much time in the pool as possible. The property was very clean and it is clear that the Rentners have put a lot of love and work into making the property feel as comfortable as possible. We would gladly stay here again and hope to do so in the future!!

Beautiful House for gateway

The host John was amazing!Absolutely loved our stay! The house is beautiful, spacious, and thoughtfully set up for a perfect family getaway. The highlight was definitely the easy walk from the living room right out to the deck and pool—ideal for lounging or enjoying a BBQ dinner. Whether you're exploring the area or just staying in to relax, this home has everything you need. Highly recommend!

Beautiful inside and out

Our stay at Bowmore House is memorable for all the best reasons. The design choices in the house are beautiful, and everything was very clean and well organized. The property is maintained with care, adding to the gorgeous mountain view. Upon arrival, John the host was readily available and just a super friendly guy who was open to questions. We enjoyed walking the trail and a couple fun surprises made us gleeful. We are looking forward to another trip there already!

John was a professional host, very welcoming and polite. The property was outstanding. Everything you see is as advertised! The house is very well kept and private. John even checked the pool filters for us. The pool is warm and comfortable. The view from the onsite balcony was outstanding. And the outdoor cabana is full loaded. it is 1000% a second kitchen for pool area. All the flowers bushes and trees on the property were very lovely and added to the privacy and ambiance. Our only regret is we didn’t find this property sooner. Looking very forward to returning and even renting his other locations! Thank you again 10 stars !

Great property - as described EXCEPT that there are stairs to go to the upstairs bedroom and stairs to go to the downstairs one - steep stairs with no banister.

Beautiful property

My family stayed at this beautiful property for three nights. For the most part you get what is advertised. The property is fully equipped with cooking and eating utensils, coffee maker (including filters), toaster, kettle and even a crockpot. All major appliances in the house (fridge, stove, microwave and dishwasher) were in working order. The outside bar did not have a tv as featured in the pictures but not a big deal as we spent most of our time enjoying the heated pool. The satellite radio playing your favourite music station while swimming was a nice added touch. Only downside for us was when we booked the property had advertised a queen size bed in the loft but all beds are doubles. Overall, the property has so much to enjoy it’s definitely worth the stay. Thanks John for an enjoyable experience!

Thanks Bruce, glad you & your family enjoyed your stay, this summer has certainly been perfect pool weather! However, the information you provided is incorrect - the bed in the loft is most definitely a QUEEN size.
