The gravel road could be an issue for some vehicles, depending on weather conditions. Lots of substantial rocks on part of the journey into town. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped, in a peaceful location. We enjoyed listening to a couple of great horned owls and saw a flock of snow geese fly directly overhead. Beautiful! ##### James K. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela W. 23 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beyond thankful for Lynn and Charlie This stay was amazing. First, the home is warm, accommodating, clean and quiet. The property is well manicured with tons of space to run and play. We had a beautiful fire which was already stacked and ready to go. Beds were comfortable, showers were spacious, kitchen stocked. Second, we had the weirdest experience of car troubles. But Charlie was ready to not only allow a mechanic to come and work on the van, but shared an air compressor and tire patches to ensure everything was ready for us to set sail home the next day. We can’t thank this couple enough for sharing their space with our family. It could have been a vacation wrought with stress, but instead, we were relaxed knowing everything was going to be ok. You never want vehicle trouble on vacation, but I know the universe put us in the right place at the right time. ##### Angela W.
