Property was the most accommodating and supplied places we have ever stayed at. The host was very available and easy to communicate with. The property is located adjacent to a wonderful park and enabled hiking at anytime. Lastly we wanted to spend time in the mountains and quiet time which this property delivered extremely well.

There were so many thoughtful details that made the stay special. The kitchen was very nice and provided everything we needed! I highly recommend this Vrbo listing. I would love to stay here again.
The cottage was cozy and beautifully prepared. We spent very peaceful time with my family. We would like to return there sometime in future. Highly recommend.
Wonderful rental. Our family had a great time here. Very clean and cozy. The property managers overstock the amenities and are always checking in to see if your ok. 20 minutes from Idlewild, we stayed here to make a weekend of it, and had an awesome time. Thank you!
My boyfriend and I stayed here with our children ranging in ages from 10 to 20. The home is absolutely beautiful and well stocked with necessities. The deck and fire pit were wonderful outdoor spaces for family time as well.Beautiful location, beautiful home, wonderful host. We can't wait to return!
