Great home with the most spectacular views. Our annual golf trip with 8 guys was perfectly suited for this great house and yard. Fire pit with drinks after golf and amazing night skies on the deck!
Lived up to expectations. Gorgeous house with a spectacular view. The kitchen is well-stocked, the A/C works really well, and that hot tub! Day or night....mountain view and then stars. Quiet and beautiful relaxing space!

The views from this house are amazing. I hope everyone that stays here has gets to see them. This house was a great spot for us to stay for the weekend we enjoyed playing cornhole and pool. There was plenty of space for all of us and the house is very well equipped. We will be back another time!
