Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This property exceeded expectations in every way. So many rentals have a “rental” feel to them, but this property felt like a home. Everything from the linens, to the kitchen utensils was thoughtfully curated and available. Our host Brandy was incredibly responsive and helpful. The location in the mountains is perfect! Comfortable beds, plenty of towels awesome views from the screened in deck with fire pit! Very happy we chose this property.
