Garret's Place is a wonderful retreat for 4 couples or a close group of friends and family. Private setting with panoramic forest views, very quiet and peaceful, and close to wonderful hiking and biking (or snowshoe/XC) trails.
Plush new living room furnishings and an overhaul on the kitchen have given fresh atmosphere to this large contemporary 2-story home. New 50" Smart TV with wireless internet, gas fireplace, large deck with hot tub and new gas grill, brand new couch with all the fixings, new easy chairs and kitchen counter stools. Sunny and cheerful, Garret's Place features panoramic forest view with a peek of the lake. Dining table for 10, well-appointed kitchen. 3/4 bath in hallway.
Master bedroom upstairs with King bed, TV, (gas fireplace in master is currently unavailable), and full bath with Jacuzzi tub (doesn't always work)/shower; guest bedroom also upstairs with Queen bed.
Downstairs (entry level) is the Laundry room, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (1 with tub, 1 with shower only): the two beautiful bedrooms have new Queen beds and forested views. This home just received a makeover with all new beds, dining room table, TVs, linens, towels and even paint. The house looks great!
We recommend 4 wheel drive in winter, as Talmont is not always easily accessible- 12% grade hill to climb/descend.
2 car garage is available to use. Parking is limited to 4 spaces.
Bedrooms: Bedroom 1 - Upstairs Master, King Bed Bedroom 2 - Upstairs, Queen Bed Bedroom 3 - Downstairs, Queen Bed Bedroom 4 - Downstairs, Queen Bed

We had a great stay at Garret's Place. This home was very clean and free of clutter. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, a lot of space to accommodate our group comfortably, and we loved the location - a quiet cul-de-sac close to many hiking trails. Having access to the garage was also very convenient. We will stay here again!

We had a great time! The place was beautiful and clean The hot tub was amazing and worked great. Instructions were very clear. I really appreciate how available the team was to answer my questions when we arrived, as well as when we had issues with the wifi. The only minor issue was that the wifi wasn't super reliable for working remotely; it seemed to cut in and out. But if you are just going to be on vacation, it was perfect.

This was a wonderful home! It was very spacious, clean, and a beautiful location! Our son said he felt like he was staying in a treehouse! The rental company was very attentive to any small needs that we had. The carpet must have been new because it was very soft and clean.It was very spacious, and we love the large sectional sofa. It was great for watching some March Madness basketball! We would definitely stay in this place again!
Great spot! Really enjoyed the scenery and amenities

Overall the place was great and plenty of room. The master bathroom needs a deep cleaning and a new shower head. Also the front door needs to be fixed as the door doesn’t stay shut unless you use the dead bolt.
