We thoroughly enjoyed this modern open floor plan domicile. It was nicely stocked with everything needed to make us feel like this was our home away from home. The beds are very comfy, the two bathrooms gave us plenty of space for our crew of 5 and small touches, like a blanket basket, helped us settle right in. The views and sounds of nature are the frosting on the getaway "cupcake". Would definitely return. ##### Jen G. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Macey S.

We had a group of 10 and every single person commented on how nice the house was! The outside patio area was also very nice and had great views.
