Everything about this mountain side cabin was perfect. The hosts were responsive with communications, the location offered easy access from town and beautiful surroundings, We wanted to spend more time there. The home was also furnished lovely and offered nice areas to gather inside and out. I would highly recommend this place, Book an extra night if you can, you'll want to just stay and enjoy the deck in the afternoon and stargazing at in the evening.

Beautiful property, had issues with getting fans. Asked for them and she said that they were in the house. Only 2 fans and there are 3 rooms, so never got 3rd fan. Also bathroom on main floor shower was very hard to pull up and use we needing up using bathroom downstairs as it was easier. Also water filter on water systems needed to be replaced as it kept beeping.
