    Just a beautiful house and well stocked in the kitchen. The area is very quiet and deer were out grazing across the street every afternoon. The gas fireplace was really appreciated when the arctic front came through. My only suggestion is when it's time to switch out the toilet in the master bathroom, please install a taller toilet. It is very hard to stand back up after sitting down, especially for someone like me with severe knee problems. There is a half-bath at the entrance that has a standard sized toilet that I used. I'd definitely stay here again. Thanks!

    Cabin was cozy and comfortable. Upstairs fireplace was inoperable. A low noise similar to an indicator of a malfunctioning battery or something was audible. Sounded like it was possibly coming from the upstairs fireplace.Not a real big deal because we were out and about for much of our stay, but it was annoying to the individuals of our group that spent time hanging out and sleeping upstairs there. They would have enjoyed using the fireplace.

    Superb: location, kitchen/dining/living room, dedicated bathroom for every bedroom plus 1/2 bath, tv’s and wifi, parkingUnacceptable: damp master bathroom resulted in sour-smelling towels (in spite of extended use of both exhaust fans)Repairs recommended for master bath: floppy loose shower head, extremely tight hot water valve for sink

    This is a wonderful house! We celebrated a graduation with 9 family members. We were so fortunate because the weather was cool in the evenings and we got to use the fire pit, which was large enough to accommodate all of us, every night. The huge wrap around porch was the site for morning coffee, drinks, dinners and lots of conversations.I can easily imagine returning for a longer visit.

    I just wanted to say how absolutely beautiful the place was — we had a wonderful time! It was truly the perfect vacation spot for our family. The lightning bugs in the afternoon were magical — we’d never seen anything like that. The afternoon walk watching the deer play was amazing.

    We had a blast even though it rained most of our stay. That's the mountains! Hiked in the rain, fished in the rain, played in the rain. Killer Monopoly games inside at night. So much porch time where we never got wet. Coffee and wine always taste better on the porch.

    It is extremely frustrating to communicate. I am getting a six number code, but I am unable to leave a message. I forget a very thin gold chain in the bedroom to the right at the top of the stairs. I think it is either on top of the dresser, or possibly on the bed or floor. Please let me know if you find it. The house I lovely and nicely furnished. We enjoyed our stay.
