Dont hesitate, book this beautiful mountain getaway! There were so many wonderful things that exceded our expectations. The home was beautiful and very clean, and in a great location. We enjoyed everything about this stay from the eucalyptus hung in the showers to the spacious deck and hot tub. There were so many great things about this place, we are already planning our next trip here. This property was by far the best rental that my wife and I have booked. Perfect for our family of 5 there was so much for the kids to do like swimming in the river, fishing, board games, and much more.
