All of us - two elderly couples - loved our stay. Carter was very welcoming, plus easy to communicate with and very accessible. The lovely nature- based decorating was so artfully done and delightful. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable and the nicely remodeled house felt homey. It is a neiborhood in transition, but we never felt unsafe. If you don't need "fancy", and appreciate a celebration of the natural world, we highly recommend staying at Mountain Hideaway.
