    We really enjoyed our time at the house. The Property Management company - Especially Kim, was very responsive and showed up not long after we called with somethings that needed attention. Be prepared for a drive up a gravel mountain road and a steep driveway- I would recommend larger vehicles and 4 wheel drive. The house had great view as advertised and was perfect for our family which had 8 people.

    We enjoyed our stay at the High Life so much! The house was so spacious and enjoyed the views from the decks at all times of the day and evening! The layout of the home provided both privacy and quiet but also a large main floor for everyone to be together. Several reviews mentioned the parking. It was a little tight but we were able to get three cars there with a little maneuvering. We found it best to back in.

    The house was perfect and had everything we needed for an enjoyable week. The views were amazing especially from the master bedroom. With the privacy location, you could wake up each morning and watch the sun come up from over the mountains while still relaxing in bed. The kitchen was fully equipped and had plenty of space and seating. The under counter ice maker was an appreciated bonus.

    Really good stay. House meets expectations online. A couple FYIs, the house has a bit of a sketchy driveway, especially if it rains, so if you have a AWD car then you may feel more comfortable. We all had sedans and had no problem but the cars bottomed out in a few places. Additionally, there's lots of bugs outside so be careful if you have a bee allergy. There's not much the owners can really do about this because it's in the middle of the woods. Overall would recommend.

    The home and the location were beautiful! The only downfall we found about the property was the property management company. We had issues with the propane tanks for the gas grill. I emailed them Tuesday evening about the issue and no one came to replace the tank. We left Saturday. There are a few dead, full size trees in the house. Not the prettiest to look at. For all the additional fees that we were charged for the management company, we were very disappointed.
