The host gave detailed information, which made our stay seamless. The house is in a nice, quiet location that was a perfect unwind spot after skiing at Liberty Mountain for the day.
This place was exactly as advertised and everything we needed for our weekend getaway! Heather, the host, was also great at communicating and responding to any questions we had.
We were looking for a property to share a relaxing mother daughter getaway. We found the home to be clean and comfortable and welcoming. The deck was especially nice.
Area is very quiet and rural and close to great hiking trails and beautiful mountains.
We came here to have a nice relaxing time in the mountains and it was just that! We had 6 people ( 2 kids ages 3 and 8) and it was perfect! The view was amazing and the house came stocked with more appliances/kitchen equipment then most Vrbos we have stayed in. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
The kitchen is amazing! Love the open concept, hot to hangout while making awesome food. Unfortunately didn’t get to use hot tub due to weather, but got to do some s’mores on the deck! Kids had a great time!
We came up for a nearby wedding and found this listing. It was everything we expected and more. Close to the venue and Frederick. Great overall experience and would love to come back and spend more time.
