Enjoyed our stay very much. The house was awesome, well stocked with all the necessities, decorated very nicely and really comfortable. Parking was not a problem and we had 5 trucks with 3 of them towing a boat behind. The communication with the host was outstanding and very prompt. There isn’t anything I wished was better. As an fyi, the road to the house is a dirt road with a bit of an incline. Not a problem with dry weather. Snow or rain might make it a little challenging without 4WD. We had 7 people stay for a fishing trip and all found a comfortable place to sleep. We hope to be staying here again.

A group of guys stayed together to play golf at nearby Grizzly Ranch and the beds, (even the pull out couch) were comfortable and it worked perfectly for our group. Plenty of room for friends to stop by for dinner after the rounds.
