It was peaceful and quiet. We loved the art and crystals and feeling within the home and it had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves and prepare some of our meals. The staff were responsive and attentive with caring spirit.

Lots of fun. Nice creek. Nice views.

The amenities are fantastic, the deck has a wonderful view with the calming sounds from Strawberry Creek, and everyone had a great time. My kids (7 and 5) really enjoyed the bunk beds and playing the different games. Would highly recommend, but there are several things to mention.1. This is a nice home, meaning the wooden floors, countertops, and decor need care and attention. Not recommended for those with untidy children, as it will stain or damage the property, which means $$ from you.2. The creek is not hikeable. There is private property all around. 3. The check in/out is a slight inconvenience, but an inconvenience regardless. You have to pick up and drop off the keys at the main office. Out of 20+ short term rentals I've stayed in, never have I had to drive to an office, find a lockbox out of 30 on a wall, and get the keys.4. The really long emails and archaic contract PDFs just add to the inconvenience. I understand the need to convey important information, but please format it properly rather than sending 1000 words (yes, I counted). Also, contracts should be via an e-sign provider, not PDFs to fill out, scan and email back. And at the very least include check in/out and pricing details in the PDF before sending it out rather than having the customer fill it out.5. The property managers are very responsive and easy to communicate with. It was nice knowing that I could send a text and get a response back within minutes typically.

Place is really nice and fun to stay in. Check in is a hassle with all the forms, and no one was there to give us the key. They also try to nickel and dime you for everything.

Floor to ceiling windows!!

Very comfortable and clean home with everything we needed. Hosts were very accommodating!

The property is fantastic! Beautiful views from every room!!! Bonus, it is creekside and you can hear the rushing water from the deck, still flowing Nov 30 :) Not happy with the check in, although the staff was nice, you have to pick up the key in town at check in time and return it by check out time as well, which cuts into the rental time… check in at 4 PM and check out at 10 AM :( There are much better deals out there, and flexible owners… I prefer to book directly with the owner.

The home is wonderful - gorgeous all-wood architecture with soaring windows in the main bedroom. Decor is tasteful modern rustic, and furniture and bedding is comfortable and clean. The shady back deck overlooks the creek, with table seating for 6-8 and 4 additional chairs. Even with close neighbors on both sides, it feels very secluded and private. In the winter, it might be a bit cozy if all beds were full - the bar is the only indoor eating space, and the living room would only comfortably seat 4 adults. However, if the weather is warm enough to use the outdoor areas, you’ll have plenty of space. The jacuzzi was hot when we arrived - heaven! We did not cook, but the kitchen seemed to have everything you might need in terms of equipment, and there is also a grill that we did not use. Coffee, tea, and very basic spices were provided. Location is a short drive to the village - probably too far to walk for most people. My only comment is that these days, it is very easy to have a lockbox or keyless entry vs having to visit the office in town. Overall, the property is excellent, and we would love to come visit again!
