This is a HIDDEN GEM! The property was in our "happy place" -- running creek and woods. My family LOVED IT. We couldn't get enough of the creek sound. We left the windows open at night for that soothing sound of the water. The property was clean, and had all the amenities we needed for our stay. The "hidden treasures" found on the property for character was a great touch, especially down along the creek sides. Again, kids LOVED it, as did the adults.

We’re thrilled you found our home! My husband loves keeping up on the “hidden gems” so glad you all enjoyed them! It’s also just as amazing in the fall and winter! Thank you so much for your kind words!
Peaceful retreat in the trees by the babbling stream
OMG. This place is so enchanting at least in the summer being able to hear this dream like stream from most any room INSIDE the house. This lovely spacious home is less than 50ft from the stream. Of course, being summer, we had windows open to allow the fresh summer daytime 71 degree air to flood the spaces along with the enchanting sounds of the stream. Swing in hammocks or sit by the stream or on the multi level decks surrounding the home… Hot tub was well maintained and is a whole new experience listening and feeling the energy of this mountian pouring by while the heat of the tub and swirling waters take your cares away. No, I am not related to the owners just a guest with my family but wanted to leave a detailed review of those considering as I have stayed in places where the experience was subpar wishing I had more info before I booked. The beds were very comfortable . Everything very clean. Parked SUV rental in garage… that was nice too. Now you must know this home is a mountian home so that mean well water that doesn’t produce the high pressure showers that some are used to but you won’t mind that too much as you will have the water pressure to do the job says my teen age girls and my wife with long hair….plenty of hot water supplied by oversized propane hot water heater. Internet was good and allowed me to work while there using my laptop and our iPhones and droid phones on Wi-Fi calling. There are various tv’s with one very large screen tv with ROKU remotes that i used by log in to various apps to get news and such. Everyone enjoyed Netflix as well. If u want to get away from it all or an enchanting place to work or write a novel , this might what u are looking for . Enjoy!
The location of the home is amazing and the property is so lovely you won't want to leave. Sadly, I had to return to reality. There's a lot to do in the area and the owners are easy to communicate with and will help you with anything that you need.
My family and another family stayed here while skiing at Monarch. About a 35 min drive from the house to the mountain. This house was perfect for 2 families. Clean and cozy! Highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in this area.
