    Excellent place to stay! If you love 'country' this is definitely the place to stay! Beautiful home, well kept and clean. Once arriving and staying the first night, the hostess sent a text to check on us and make sure everything was going good and to see if we needed anything. The area around is was absolutely beautiful and our adventurous side was able to go hiking and exploring. Will definitely book this place again next time we are in the area!

    This place lived up to its listing. A large, private ranch with a beautiful home full of amenities and tremendous views. Perfection! We saw elk and deer on the ranch. We enjoyed the hot tub while watching the sun set. Owners were in close contact - we appreciated their care.

    Excellent location, spacious indoor and outdoor space, far enough to feel secluded but close enough to main highway.

    Views were gorgeous, and location was centrally located to many of the places we wanted to visit. The house was spacious and clean but a few things could have been improved. The linens were thin and some were shredded. The lighting in some rooms really needed brighter bulbs, the kitchen was well stocked and even had spices provided. We especially liked the fenced in area for our dogs. Our biggest issue was that the hot water did not work in one bathroom sink and that was very inconvenient
