This property is amazing, quiet, and everything we needed for a getaway. You will not be disappointed with this place. Kingston gas station has the best breakfast and pizza ever!!
This is a nice clean place to stay with everything you need. Wonderful owners who are a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a place near the off road park.
Beautiful view! Wonderful people very helpful and clean the property was a very clean and cozy place would love to come back in the future. Hiking was fun but in October the creeks are dry so sadly no water falls but the scenery the home offered was amazing! Only thing is the roadway to it is quite steep so a typical low to the ground vehicle wouldnt fare well 4wd isnt needed my 2wd did fine but be sure to have a car or pickup that has somewhat decent ground clearance otherwise amazing place! Kingston station burgers are the best!
Beautiful home inside and out. Awesome views! We really loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the beautiful mountain views and wildlife. Everything was well stocked with everything we needed. We had a great relaxing family vacation. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a beautiful quiet peaceful family vacation!

The place was great. My only complaint is I wish they would have explained how to get there a little better an what can happen if you come from a direction other than the one provided as there is not always cell service and it’s very remote. The hosts were perfect though a the place was amazing.
This place was better than advertised. Lots of wildlife to see and great views with no neighbors. Was a perfect place for a relaxing trip. It was clean and well kept inside with new furniture and comfortable beds. I recommend a truck or all wheel drive suv as the road is steep but the owner had it fairly smooth.
The view from the house was amazing. The rivers and creeks were crystal clear water, beautiful to swim in . We got to see elk, armadillo, bald eagle, lizard and snake. We got to see a lightning storm and the Milky Way!
The location was perfect for us, as we wanted to get away from crowds. We could hear others in a distance but it wasn't a nuisance. The home is well stocked and very clean. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. The grill was handy for cooking our steaks and we enjoyed eating out on the deck. We saw multiple deer on the property in the early mornings. We will definitely stay here again. Make sure you read the directions given to you - there isn't much signal up in that area and you don't want to get lost.
We could tell the owners put thought and care into this rental. It was so kind of them to have wood for all the stages of building a fire in the pit, complete with logs to sit on. Kitchen is well appointed. While we loved watching the sunset, our highlight was the moonrise! The quiet, the lightening bugs, the views all helped us to recharge.
Perfect! Everything was PERFECT! Perfect location, right in the middle of nowhere, far away from everything and everyone. The views were amazing. The house itself was immaculate, and very well stocked. We are hoping to return around the same time next year and take my parents. Very comfortable beds and furniture too. We enjoyed sitting on the porch visiting and seeing the sights, and taking walks around the property as well.
Your property was BEAUTIFUL and exactly what we were hoping for!!! It was nice and clean and well stocked. We would definitely stay here again. The only two things were we couldn’t get connected to the WiFi so had no cell service. Sunday morning we rebooted the WiFi and was able to connect. People need to be aware of the driveway…we have a 4x4 truck so we had no problem, but my son had issues in his car. Thanks again for sharing your home and allowing us to have a great getaway weekend!!
Hosts were amazing and the cabin was so nice, clean and had beautiful scenery. We had an emergency while we were there and had to leave a day early. The hosts were very understanding and the local emergency dept was amazing. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back again.
