This property and home were beautiful. We used the sauna after hiking all day, then relaxed on the patio. Location was nice and quiet, very scenic. We woke up to see to a few visitong elk and a javalina in the morning. The home was very clean and nicely furnished. 10/10 experience and would definitely recommend to anyone.

We came for our anniversary weekend with our dog and the place was lovely. It was clean, with beautiful views. Yes, it is older but still great for solo or couples traveling. It is down a narrow drive that gets you away from the main drag so you won't be walking anywhere, but that's why we liked it - quiet!

Very nice and quiet area. Easy check in and check out. But house definitely needs upgrades and attention. Furniture is very old and unstable. Carpet has pet pee stains in upstairs and downstairs so there’s a faint pee odor when you first walk in the house. The balcony is super unstable and loose wouldn’t recommend leaning up against it or touching it.

This house is beautiful but has some maintenance issues such as tiles coming up in the master bath and a cabinet door falling off, a beautiful but very saggy couch that was hard for us old folks to get out of, windows that didn't open and close, a stove where only two of the 4 burners worked, old mesh chairs on the deck that rotted through while we were sitting in one. However, these are all relatively minor maintenance fixes that once corrected will give this property back its "10" status. The narrow private road to the property is also in need of maintenance with broken pavement and several pot holes that made it difficult to navigate in the dark. But even with the maintenance issues we loved the place. We saw 4 Elk one morning and a Coyote the next morning.
