The trails are beautifully marked and we wandered through the woods down to the creek and waterfall. The campsites are groomed and marked clearly with a modern and updated bathhouse just for them. The rooms are clean and cozy. So many towels and blankets for extra convenience. The beautiful outdoor deck was perfect for sunset views, sound bath and yoga.

We are a group of homeschooling families and we all found comfy spots to sleep. The beds and bedding are all comfy and in great condition. Everything was clean and well supplied. Several people in the group love to cook and appreciated the very well-stocked kitchen. There were many different areas in the the house so that people could do different activities but there was also room for us all to be together. And it is beautiful outside! The view from the deck is gorgeous. We went on some really special hikes on the property and didn't feel the need to go explore elsewhere, actually! Several members of the group went horseback riding and said it was really an exceptional experience. When we reached out to the host with any questions, she responded quickly and seemed happy to help. We plan to go back for sure! ##### Leah Q.

Lots of room, great hiking from the house, two areas where groups of people could comfortably congregate. There were two kitchens! The family staying downstairs (one of my sons and his partner and my brother-in-law and his daughter) stored their drinks and snacks downstairs. There is an outside entrance to the downstairs family room and kitchen. If you fill all the bedrooms, the bathroom situation will be a little tight. There is one full bath in the master, another full bath upstairs that the other three bedrooms share, a third full bath upstairs between the kitchen and the fifth bedroom upstairs and a full bath downstairs for the two bedrooms to share. The house easily accommodated 14 people. Several of the generation in their 20's and 30's hiked down to the river. Deer and turkeys came right up to the house and hung out. There was even a baby deer on the property. The property manager was friendly, responsive and very accommodating, offering to find vendors for the various activities we planned. This is a very comfortable house with all the amenities. ##### cynthia t. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Y T.

House was great for accommodating multiple family groups. Loved the big dining room table for bringing folks together. The property has great hiking trails (although you need to watch out for poison oak). Alicia and Michael were very helpful giving us the info we needed to get the most out of our stay. Michael even provided a bike tour of the trails for our groups' mountain bikers. Lots of wildlife--even an early morning bear sighting (from a very safe distance). Definitely a terrific trip. ##### maureen a. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexis P.

It was clean, spacious and close to the river and town. Will definitely be back and recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing place with plenty of outdoor activities. ##### Cole M.

The house easily accommodated 2 small children and 7 adults with separate spaces for everyone. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer S.

Overgrowth of poison oak meant close supervision of younger kids was required. ##### Jennifer S. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Toral F. Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely trails around property We loved the hiking trails and the little creek/waterfall just off the property. Very lovely patio area in front of the house with gorgeous view of the hills. Kids loved exploring. We found the home to be large enough, though pots and pans/kitchen accessories like dishwasher need updating and difficult to use. We had difficulty using some rooms (downstairs area can only be accessed via a bedroom) though we were able to make it work. Of note, the road to the property is relatively twisty so those with motion sickness should be forewarned. ##### Toral F. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Xia L.

Kids had so much fun without internet ( choosing not to give the kids password) and was surprise they were all sad it was time to go. Really great space. ##### Xia L.

We cooked amazing meals in the roomy kitchen and ate at the big dining table. We hiked around the beautiful trails and found the Moss house. The dog run was spacious and perfect for a 3yr old chocolate lab. We can’t wait to come back. ##### Megan F. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen B. Oct 2, 2018 #### Third Annual Retreat We keep coming back. There are enough rooms, a large table for working, and separate areas where people can do different events. Being able to use two kitchen areas is helpful. ##### Karen B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thelma F. Sep 25, 2018 #### Great weekend with friends This is a wonderful place to get away from it all. All the rooms are of great size and multiple gathering rooms. Sitting on front porch you see and abundance of wildlife. Lots of games to play and the observation deck over the canyon is delightful. Hope to visit again. Only disappointment was BBQ was out of propane as was the backup in the garage. ##### Thelma F.
