The layout of the house is impressive! There is so much space in each room and the bedrooms are strategically spread out. The view is beautiful and you feel secluded. There are so many options on how to spend your time. The s’more supplies and firewood were a nice touch. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

What a beautiful home! Very comfortable and well appointed. Mattress was very comfy. Views are second to none. Very good communication with the Host as well. Would definitely recommend and will be staying here again in the future. The outside windows do need to be cleaned, but I would imagine it's hard to keep them clean 100% of the time, so not that big of a deal.
