    As others have mentioned, the photos don’t do this house and location justice! The house is spacious and had room for everyone. My daughter was excited to find the little hidden playroom; and I was too as that room wasn’t shown in the photos. We loved watching the wildlife everyday out back and hated to even leave the house because we didn’t want to miss anything exciting. I would recommend this house to anyone! The only minor things that may need attention are:We could have used a few more coffee mugs (only found 4 in the kitchen , and we never found any steak knives. And additional hand towels in the bathrooms would be nice (only had one in each bathroom).

    The house and property are beautiful. This was a perfect weekend escape for a friend’s wedding. We would absolutely stay here again. Keep an eye out for deer, elk, and bears! We saw all three from the patio.

    The pictures of the house and the property do notndo it justice. The rooms are spacious and the view is amazing. Check in was easy and communication with the manager was prompt.

    Absolutely gorgeous home with spectacular views! The hosts were very kind and responded promptly to any questions we had. Four adults and four children (ages 8-12) were very comfortable the entire time. Great playroom! Conveniently located. Highly recommended!

    What a great house! The view can’t be beat. Four bedrooms, plus an office, a game room with a foosball table, a den with a kids reading book, and two patios with a hot tub. The drive can be tricky in bad weather. Well stocked kitchen with several coffee makers. Toiletries in every bathroom.

    This house has great space and all the amenities. About 15 minutes from shoppibg and restaurants, its nestled in a quite serene spot. The wild life was moving and we enjoyed the ourdoor spaces. Very comfortable for our family of 7 with spaces for everyine!

    Great property!! The property was very spacious for our family of eight to enjoy the holiday weekend. The kitchen was fully stocked and enabled us to cook our holiday feast. The views of the mountains and valley were awesome, especially after we received some snowfall. We would definitely stay at this property again in the future. Thank you hosts!!

    We had a group of five leaders meeting at the cabin for an offsite work meeting for a few days. It was even better than the pictures showed! This was an excellent facility for us - lots of room, beautiful setting - felt like it was remote, but was only 15-20 minutes from restaurants, etc. We would definitely stay there again!

    We stayed there after a wedding and it was wonderful. The property was more than big enough. The views were incredible and we actually planned to come and stay again maybe next summer.
