This home was outstanding

Annamarie Young
This home was outstanding! Comfy beds, phenominal view, cabin feel AND all modern amenities. Drive to the location was exciting as a Floridian. 😆

No complaints

Janae G
No complaints! Beautiful property

The home was very remote and quiet

Heather Moore
The home was very remote and quiet. It had everything we needed and more. The children really loved the game room on the lower level.

Beautiful home with amazing Mountain View’s and plenty of fun to have at the home with family

Angel M
Beautiful home with amazing Mountain View’s and plenty of fun to have at the home with family! Our family trip of 10 people had a blast!

What a beautiful location and home

Meghan T
What a beautiful location and home! We selected this spot for a weekend getaway for my husband's birthday with 2 other families, and it could not have been more perfect. We arrived on Friday afternoon and didn't leave the property until Sunday. There was so much to do with all the games in the basement (ping pong, air hockey, table shuffleboard), activities for the kids, space for them to play outside, hot tub, fire pit, and just sitting on the porch, enjoying the view. We would love to return!

If you a looking for a secluded peaceful getaway and break with your friends and family, look no further

If you a looking for a secluded peaceful getaway and break with your friends and family, look no further. Though far way from the city and far up the mountain, this place has everything you need. It’s coziness and comfort hugs you like a warm blanket. It’s clean and the host is very friendly and responsive! Book this place if you would like some peace and quiet away from the busy fast life.
