Other things to note Perched along a quiet one-lane mountain road, this Otto retreat offers sweeping views and a calm place to recharge between hikes, waterfall visits, and nearby small-town exploring. It’s a relaxed, comfortable home where evenings end around the fire pit and mornings begin with mist rolling over the ridge.
Summer stays feel especially refreshing—open the windows, switch on the fans, and let cool mountain air drift through. An attic fan helps pull fresh air throughout the whole home, a welcome touch on warmer nights.
Because the home sits on a mountain hillside and is accessed by a one-lane road, it may not suit all mobility needs or drivers uncomfortable with mountain routes.
A comfortable, scenic home base for guests who want mountain quiet, outdoor adventure, and the simple pleasure of cool night air drifting through the windows.

About the host
Hosted by Shannon Quist
I am originally from Upstate New York where the mountains are just as beautiful, but have to long of a winter. This location and area itself is perfect to just relax and enjoy the surrounding areas and views or to have an adventure of one of the many things to do around here. This is my happy place and where I will retire when I'm ready. I host because I wanted everyone else to be able to experience this happiness when I can not, so that it is always being appreciated.
Why they chose this property
I was the previous owners first guest when they first put it on the market and instantly fell in love with it. When they decided to sell I was very happy to acquire it. The neighborhood itself is very quiet and peaceful and the neighbors are very nice and outstanding people.
