Jan 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable, stylish home in a great location! This thoughtfully minimalist property was perfect for our friend-group getaway. We really appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and inviting spaces for dining and socializing. Bedrooms and bathrooms were stylish and comfortable. And you can’t beat the location: remote while also being close to both the park and town. The host was very communicative and obviously has put a lot thought into what guests will need. We had a fantastic time and look forward to returning in the future! ##### Michelle T. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James L. Nov 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, amenities, and host! The property is in a great semi-secluded location which is perfect if you want to unplug from devices and city-life. You're not too far from town in case you need to pick up anything which is convenient. All listed amenities were in good working condition, and everything was clean and tidy. We didn't have to reach out to the host during our stay to report any issues with the property. The host was very attentive, communicative, and overall great! Patty checked-in on us on our arrival date to ensure that we got in without issues which was very considerate given that finding the property does require driving on unpaved roads for a short stretch. Our group highly recommends Night Moves! ##### James L. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David D.
