From clear communication during booking, all the way to check out, we couldn't have had a better experience! The host's hospitality shows in eveything, like a coffee corner in the kitchen and extra throw blankets in a basket. A favorite this trip was the outdoor swing and covered patio! We traveled with our dogs and found the neighborhood to be excellent for walks and sniffs. Can't wait to book again! ##### Jennifer N.

The home and the hostess was perfect. We stayed in a well appointed home, great furnishings with a fantastic location. After a full day of exploring it was a pleasure to come home that had everything we needed to include a fenced in backyard to play off leash with our dogs. Saw deer all the time and an elk just a few houses down the street. It was a great vacation. ##### Charles ### 2/10 Terrible #### Stephanie S. 25 Aug 2023 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Awful Disappointed ##### Stephanie S.

We booked another property for our anniversary trip and were notified just 2 days before arrival that the reservation had to be cancelled due to a hot water heater issue. As disappointed as I was, I kept reading and the property owners offered this property as a replacement option. I can't tell you how much of a blessing it was! We absolutely loved this house and it was perfect for our anniversary! The hosts we're as gracious as can be and we loved the scenic view as we drove to the house. We cooked on the covered outdoor patio 2 nights and it had everything we needed to make us feel like we we're at home. We will 100% be back.
