It fit 6 adults comfortably. The kitchen is setup nicely for easy cooking. The area is extremely quiet, the view is gorgeous and the wildlife is very abundant. Wild turkies were seen everyday and elk were also seen in the front yard. The hosts of this property have supplied a number of outdoor games as well as a nice firepit for use. I highly recommended this beautiful home as it is well worth the value! ##### Kerri Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber B.
