This place was amazing and so wonderfully well-stocked. We came together as a family of nine (9) to celebrate Thanksgiving and had a pleasant and relaxing time here. The property is beautiful and the wildlife is fun to watch. I hope we get to come back on day!
Beautiful home that was very clean, well stocked, and extremely comfortable set on a mountain with beautiful views! The hosts were very helpful and responsive. They provided clear instructions and information for check-in. It is a lovely, spacious home. We would stay here again, when in the area.
Everything was fabulous. The house was clean and I loved where it was . The Host was easy to get up with and was very helpful with any information I needed. This is a place I definitely would recommend and would stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Jill & Kevin
We travel a lot and want to share our custom home built and designed by us with you. We homesteaded the property with our 3 children living in a 1969 Airstream while we cleared the property and built our dream home. Solar system and battery bank provide power when the grid goes down. Fresh mountain water from 600 feet down provides the best tasting water you will ever have. Our now adult children come home just to fill their water bottles to take with them.
Why they chose this property
Snuggled amongst the trees and wildlife this property provides a quiet retreat from the city but is close enough to work and play in the city. Property backs up to the national forest and regularly has visitors that include deer, bears and large variety of birds.
What makes this property unique
