We hit the trifecta with this home. The host was warm, friendly and accommodating, the home was clean, well appointed and modern, and the location was perfect for our needs. I would stay here again if in the area.

Amazing getaway

Our experience was top notch from start to finish. The information on the website accurately described the property. The communication throughout our stay was quick and efficient. Our host was gracious. The property was immaculate, modern, well stocked, and comfortable. The location was ideal for all of our hiking, but it would be perfect for fishing, relaxing, or any other outdoor activities. Overall a five star experience.

Incredible stay

This house is such a great find! It’s so beautifully decorated and has everything you might need. There are multiple different choices of coffee/creamer, board games, beach towels, outdoor games. I could have stayed here just to visit the house. We loved playing giant jenga in the backyard and BBQing. The host also gave us recommendations after our lake visit plans didn’t work out. The beds were also a big hit!! Can’t wait to come back again and visit

Great house with a nicely stocked kitchen. Not much in the area for eating out. The Cougar bar is about it and service was slow so we left. No big deal as we planned on cooking but something to keep in mind. No grocery stores close by.
