The property more than met our expectations. Beautiful home. Spacious with enough single beds so no one had to sleep with someone else. Extremely clean. Huge problem with billing overcharge however and still waiting for it to be resolved.

Wonderful getaway
We had our women's retreat here and had a wonderful weekend. The place was just perfect for us. The large kitchen/great room was wonderful so we could be together while playing separate games. I did send a message or two that I didn't hear back from, but that didn't affect our stay. The kitchen could be better equipped for such a large group, the pots were not in best condition and there weren't any really big pots. No measuring cups/spoons. Not enough bowls for a group as large as the house can hold. These were all minor things for us though. Just wanted to include that for future improvements. I did not get an email about check in for some reason but they answered the phone when I called and provided the check in code. Thank you for sharing this wonderful home with us.

A good stay, large friend group
This was out 9th year of a mountain house weekend stay with the same group of families, with 8 adults and 9 kids, now ranging in age from 9-17. The bedrooms were spacious and there were plenty of them. We generally look for houses with a bunk room since the kids like to stay together, and this house had that option. Bathrooms were clean, and there were plenty of linens and towels. Plenty of living space for our group to spread out in, play games, great outdoor area as well. The kitchen itself could use a deep clean, many of the pots and pans were sticky, and the utensil holder and everything in it was very greasy. The stove is set up very high which made cooking a bit awkward, but we managed. We were not made aware ahead of time that alcohol was against the rules of this house. The cleaning people showed up a full half hour prior to our check out time and began cleaning the downstairs, which we felt was intrusive since we paid for a 10am check out. We did leave at 10am on the dot. All told, we did not let these things ruin our weekend and had a great time with our group.

Family gathering
The house was stunning, clean and roomy enough for all of us. We had a wonderful time. One issue we experienced was after a power outage the thermostat did not reset. So we spent one night without heat downstairs. Not too bad, but the thermostats are locked, so we were helpless to do anything until we stumbled upon the key. Reaching out to the owner was a slow, tedious process that morning.

Great Girls Weekend
14 ladies enjoyed this wonderful mountain lodge for a weekend. The number of bedrooms made this location so appealing. Nice to have a long table to eat together. The outdoor fire area was enjoyed as well as the pickle ball court.
