The back porch is such a nice, comfortable place to hang out with lots of seating and awesome view. The host is super nice, helpful and attentive. We have no complaints. It was a wonderful mountain get-away."

8/10 Good
"Staff was friendly and helpful, room was very comfortable. The hall carpeting and bathroom caulking, although clean, looks a bit tired and worn. Safe location, good parking and easy to get in/out."
