This property is perfect for a couple that wants to sit by the fire and enjoy peace and quiet. The hot tub was perfect and the views of Bartlett Mtn and across the valley are amazing. The kitchen is stocked if you want a simple meal or to fire up the BBQ. Bed was super comfortable, and the outdoor shower added a nice touch.
the property itself is immaculate- the design esthetics was perfection and no thought was overlooked as to what would make a guest's stay easy & enjoyable.
