The place was awesome. Very comfortable space to relax in after enjoying the sites all day. Both boys loved the secret room and the theme. The bed my wife and I used was extremely comfortable. Location is great. Feeling of being isolated a bit, and got to see some moose in the yard, but only 5 minutes from almost any modern amenity you want or need and not far from a lot of great trails and sight seeing. The place was extremely well put maintained and the host was super easy to work with. It rained a lot while we were in town, but it did slow down long enough for us to use the fire pit one night which was just a great addition.

Fantasy Secret Room

Comfortable, spacious, well-appointed house where we relaxed. Loved looking out into the woods. Excitement for all three of us when we found the secret room.

The hostess was very accommodating. Lots of space, very comfortable couches and beds. Didn’t really use the kitchen but it’s a gourmet kitchen from the looks of it… Super nice countertops.

Fantastic place

This was a perfect place to bring our the 16-year-old granddaughters. They loved the secret room, which is very artistically done. The counter/tabletop is impressively beautiful. The beds were very comfortable, and the hostess was very responsive and helpful to our requests for help, such as a forgotten essential and guidance on trails. We were thrilled the first morning to see a black bear wandering through the yard, and thrilled again the last day to see a mother moose and her two young. Six stars.
