Great Get Away
The house had everything we needed for the stay. There were plenty of games and movies for the kids and plenty of room for everyone. It was located close to the National Park and other great areas for hiking and exploring. The owners always responded quickly if we had a question.

A truly relaxing and wonderful experience!
The property owners were amazing to work with, very quick to respond to emails or phone calls. The house is beautiful and perfect for quiet mornings watching Chipmunks and hummingbirds on the front deck and beautiful in the evening with the sunset and stars in the evening.

Close, but needs a few things
Nice place with some shortcomings. The A/C unit was not there, as advertised. There are no screens on the windows in this house. We found this very disappointing. Who rents a place thinking they should ask if there are window screens? It got very warm and stuffy every afternoon. The large triangular windows let blinding sun in in the late afternoon. I could barely cook supper with it like that. When we arrived there was garbage on the floor in the corner of living room. We were sticking to the floor in the hall and I had to mop the first evening. Turns out there was hummingbird sugar water all over the floor and running down a shelf. The lowest level is very musty. There were also crickets, both dead and alive, down there all over the carpet. I vacuumed on night one. Be careful, the stairs are different heights in the rise of the stairs. There was laundry in the washer when I went to use it mid-week. I didn’t know if it was clean or dirty. The amenities were good and most everything you would need for your stay is already there.
