    This is a super cute condo nestled high on a ridge with a nice view of the mountains. Nicely decorated and well-appointed. It's difficult to find in the dark, the mountain roads are dangerous, and it's a long drive to any amenities, so be sure and pack what you need for meals. Our only complaint is the fireplace doesn't work, which is a shame given what we paid to spend the weekend here.
