The kid's bedrooms were amazing and they enjoyed them very much. The adult bedrooms were very comfortable and private. The kitchen was very nice and we were able to find all the utensils and dishware we wanted. The location is great. Walking within the neighborhood was easy and very enjoyable. This is a great place to stay with extended family.

House in the Mountains

House was nice but a bit drafty. Well equipped.
Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Dec 2024
Thank you for staying with us Marty. I am so sorry you found the house drafty. The below freezing frigid temperatures and mountain winds during your stay were definitely a factor. I appreciate your feedback and we will look for ways to secure drafts. We would love to host you again.

Emilda, we are so happy you enjoyed your Thanksgiving in the mountains. Our kids love the river too! Thank you for letting us know about the oven. It is new so it shouldn't be acting up! We will get that checked immediately.
