Apartment was clean. Deck was nice, very limited view of the river. The hot tub didn’t work on Saturday, he came and fixed it but took till the next day to heat back up. Would suggest getting towels for guests as there were only 4 for the shower and hot tub.
Cob webs on staircase up to unit. Only had an 8” x 5” cutting board. Host quickly filled propane tank that was empty. No remote for tv. Host was very responsive.
Great stay, in a clean, well appointed space. We’ve stayed in many GV VRBO’s, and this one we will book again! We were wanting a clean, place to sleep, and have coffee in the am. Most days are spent at our family’s place, or on an outing… this worked perfectly for us!
My wife and I needed a weekend away and this was the perfect place. The views from the deck were exactly what we wanted, the apartment was very clean and comfortable. The host was very responsive to any requests and very friendly. We are already planning our next get away to this little hide away.
Our little family of 4 stayed for a long weekend and it was perfect! The loft was clean, cute and the hot tub was perfect. We fell in love with the deck and the mountain views. Super short drive to the hot springs at Terrace Lakes. If we could have given it more star we would have!
Very cute place to stay. Small and quaint. The property was beautiful! We took our dogs and it was super dog friendly as well. There’s a big lot on the property next to the house and it was perfect for our dogs to go into. Brad was very easy to get a hold of. Highly recommend and will absolutely go back!

everything was great, my kids and i truly enjoyed it
The apartment was nice and the host was helpful when we had a problem with the hot tub. We chose a bad time to go because of wildfires so I can't tell you if the location was good for outdoor activities, but there were enough games to keep us entertained indoors and out of the smoke.
If you are looking for a fancy stay, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a quiet, simple retreat, away from the city lights, to enjoy a dip in the hot tub on the balcony, and see the stars, or enjoy the warmth of the fire pit, then this is the place for you. We very much enjoyed our stay.
We enjoyed the quiet and calm place. There was no noise and we were able to truly relax. IT as easy to find and to go places from the house. The house had everything we needed. We left it clean and wants to say Thank you!
We loved our week at Starlight Kids Camp and this landing spot was conveniently located and great for our crew. The house was clean and had everything thing we needed. We enjoyed time in the river and in the hot tub. The grill made summer meals easy and we loved the firepit. Thanks for the memories!
I enjoyed my stay, the unit was spacious and the location was peaceful and convenient. The queen bed was very comfortable. It would have been nice to have the heater working in the bathroom and kitchen, however, the bedroom/living area heated well and was cozy. I definitely recommend this unit and hope to stay again in the future.

Enjoyed my stay, the home is in a good location to town and the view is beautiful. I spent most of my time on the deck not in the apartment because the sounds of nature are wonderful. After a day on the river or hiking the jacuzzi is very relaxing. The neighbors were very kind. If your looking for privacy and quiet this is your place.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Somewhat misleading
The loft was very comfortable & roomy. But the listing said easy river access & short walk. "Short walk" was 12 minutes, then the river was swift & rocky at that access. Very disappointing for the child who had walked so far & couldn't wade. Kitchen a/c would be nice
The hot tub chlorine was just a bit too much. And the Wi-Fi did not work. We even rebooted it still didn’t work but not that big of a deal. Enjoy our stay very cute place enjoy the peace and quiet from the busy life.
