The house was really nice. Plenty of beds, plenty of bathrooms. Kitchen was well equipped with lots of pots, pans, plates, utensils and dishwasher. Also washer and dryer.
Very clean and had great kitchen to prepare any kind of meal. Bed was very comfortable and had great views from the back porch and the front yard. Would definitely go back with more people.
Our family enjoyed our stay at this house! It was very private, stocked with all that we needed, and the beds were quite comfortable. Everything was very clean! Just a minor thing to be aware of, the wifi is not reliable at all, but I not sure there is anything the owners could do about that. All in all, it was a nice house and we would gladly stay there again.
House we stayed was fantastic, rooms were great, views were amazing, host were fantastic. Everything listed was there,
We stayed last year with a friend and loved it so much we wanted to come again and it did not fell to impress. The owners keep improving the stay. Now ping pong in the game room that my husband and kids play all night long. And so many outdoor games that are to many to list. I will say playing catch with my daughter was my favorite seeing it’s been so long. We are definitely coming back
We decided to go on a last minutes vacation on a Thursday, we booked Top of the Mountain, and left Friday morning. This was perfect for us! Many things in the home look to be brand new, beds, tables, bar stools, sheets, towels, kitchen items etc. The beds were super comfortable, which is a huge win!!!! We forgot coffee, so it was a huge blessing when we saw their coffee bar with k-cups. :) They had several spices, we didn't do much cooking, but I did notice them. They had shampoo, conditioner, and body soap in each shower....the dispenser ones that are on the shower wall. They also had little samples of each in each of the bathrooms. There were a few dishwasher packets, laundry packets, and dish soap also. I know some places we have been do not provide those, so we were thankful. We have 3 kids, the outside area was great for the kids to play and explore. The house sits at the end of the road, so we never had to worry about anyone driving by. They also had an outdoor fire pit, we cooked hotdogs a couple nights, it was super fun to sit outside and enjoy the cool weather. There was a pile of wood there, I think to use, we did. :) It was fall when we went and the house was decorated with cute pumpkins and other fall decor. :) The house is surrounded by trees, the leaves were beautiful when we were there. The one tricky part is...it was a long code to get in the lock box, and unfortunately, if the door shuts it automatically locks. My husband and I were outside the next morning (without our phones with the code), 2 of our kids came running outside and closed the door...therefore, locking us all out. My 3rd child, was inside, he is special needs and doesn't understand how to open a door, nor does he understand danger. Thankfully, we had car keys and drove to a neighbor's house, who was super nice and let us use her internet so we could get on our email and get the code. So, just be careful about closing the door or make sure you memorize the code. :) Last, I believe they have satellite for internet. It is a little slower than we are used to, but it works. They also have satellite for TV. A couple times we were not able to get watch TV because it wouldn't load. We would definitely stay at this place again. It was perfect for a family of 5, both indoors and outdoors, it exactly what we needed for the week.
