Vacation home with everything we needed

This home is beautifully decorated with a well stocked kitchen. Loved the screened porch and the fire pit where we roasted marshmallows every night. An added feature was the restaurant right down the street. The house was spotless when we arrived. We will be back!

Very Cute Mountain House!!

This was a great house for a mountain getaway. Everything was very clean and the owners ensured that we had everything we needed down to firewood, starter chips, and even wood sticks for marshmallows! The house was deal for having a group stay and the view was lovely. Very close to the town for easy access to dining options!
