    I’m not one to review properties I stay at but this experience was too amazing not to. If I can give more than 5 stars I would!!Host was outstanding, from booking to check out, she made sure it was all made smoothly as possible. Made me feel right at home. She was attentive to all our needs, prompt responses, communication was overall great. Location & house was as tidy as one would imagine.If you’re ever wanting to be in this area, or close to the mountains, definitely the place to stay.

    This house and host were awesome! The house is small but perfect for a small group, super cozy, very clean and well decorated. The host responded promptly when we had an issue with the code and while we waited we huddled around the cozy fire table which we planned to do anyway. The house is well stocked with everything you could need and more plus water, a shower steamer and box of chocolates as a thank you gift! A great stay even just for one night it was great. Well worth it and i will gladly book again!

    Had a great stay. Brandy, the owner was very responsive. Loved the house. Had snow while there and she had someone take care of the driveway. The driveway is steep and fine without snow or ice.

    This property exceeded expectations in every way. So many rentals have a “rental” feel to them, but this property felt like a home. Everything from the linens, to the kitchen utensils was thoughtfully curated and available. Our host Brandy was incredibly responsive and helpful. The location in the mountains is perfect! Comfortable beds, plenty of towels awesome views from the screened in deck with fire pit! Very happy we chose this property.
