The views are spectacular. Nice fireplace and hot tub. Great space in the basement for teen girls to have private space.

Amazing views, but not great property
First, this property is not easy to reach. Its over 2 miles up the side of a mountain, often on narrow and steep passes. Well equipped vehicle and steady nerves are a must.One week before we arrived, we were advised the upstairs bathtub was out of order and would not be available during our stay. When we arrived, we observed that the bedroom under this bath has visible water damage. It appeared this damage was well aged, and was know of for a lot longer than a week before our stay. Also, didn't appear any attempt was made to fix it. The first night we arrived was very windy. All we heard all night was howling wind leaking in through poorly sealed glass and shifting glass panels. My kids compared it to the screaming you hear on a roller coaster. (yes, really that loud) The second day we were there, the power went out for about an hour, but the generator did not kick in (thrilled there was a generator here). I found the generator was turned off, and was actually functional once switched on. Luckily I have a Generac at home, so I knew what to look for. Would have been unlucky for someone unfamiliar sitting in the dark on a night where temps reached 17 degrees. BTW, there is no cell reception, so power is necessary for WiFi calling, otherwise you really are in the dark!Also, the hot tub was not functional for our stay!
