Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mountain vacation My family including my 13 year old daughter and 9 year old son and wife stayed for a week at this beautiful, secluded, and relaxing home. We enjoyed the cool mornings and convenient location to area hikes, waterfalls, and nice mountain towns. It is a little bit off the beaten path but is nice change forThe rat race of the day to day life. The small lake is nice out front but unfortunately you’re not allowed to fish it. That was the only small disappointment. ##### Tim O.
