I can't say enough good things about this property. The home is absolutely beautiful and so welcoming. The host thought of everything and more to accommodate guests. My family was very comfortable and very happy! The views were spectacular and property so well maintained. The kitchen was fully stocked. We cooked our Thanksgiving meal here and we had everything we needed and more. The beds were super comfortable and the baths just perfect. Windy Knoll is truly a gem and by far the best VRBO we have rented and we will be back!

The location of this property is so beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. The only thing that would have helped were the bed sizes. A full bed is just to small abs the rooms could accommodate larger beds.

This is by far our favorite place to stay; I cannot say enough wonderful things about this beautiful rental! The owners were so easy to communicate with and they have thought of absolutely any and everything to make your stay perfect. The house is an absolute gem; decorated beautifully & so much room. The porch was our very favorite, we could have sat there forever watching the wildlife and beautiful mountain views. We were only a few miles from so many wineries and anything else we wanted to do. And it is pet friendly so we were able to bring our pup. Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed to stay at Windy Knoll and we cannot wait to come back!

Windy Knoll

The house is super clean and well decorated . The grounds are lovely with deer and cottontails hanging out peacefully . It's very quiet with no noticeable ambient noise . On a clear night there is excellent start gazing . The only thing I would suggest is too provide maybe a memory foam mattress pad for optional use as the mattresses are very firm in good condition but very firm . Overall loved the stay .

Renter Beware

We saved up our money and chose this home to celebrate our winter holiday, as well as my birthday I share with my baby. We were so excited!In advertisement owner’s claimed they had a working fireplace, this was a huge reason we rented this vacation home for our celebration. When we contacted owner they seemed very annoyed with our call and said they “have no idea” how to work it and to “use the manual to figure it out”. I apologized for inconveniencing them but asked to please help us as it was included in our stay and was something we specifically looked for when choosing a house. Mike reluctantly stayed on the phone, trying to remember how to work it. After awhile our conversation seemed to take a lighthearted turn but, unfortunately the fireplace remained inoperable. Mike admitted, at the end of the call, that it is over 25 years old and he has known for over a year that it has needed to be replaced. My spouse and I spent well over an hour hunched down in the dirty, dead-bug filled fireplace in diagnostics, to no avail.Along with this issue the electricity in the home may be faulty as the breaker to the refrigerator flipped even though we never connected any other appliances to it. This happened while we were gone from the home, so we returned to water leaked on the floor and about 100 of food spoiled. We debated reporting these issues to VRBO but decided to just enjoy our short stay and move on. We understand that things happen and wanted to focus on the happy time

Perfect Mountain Retreat

Windy Knoll is the best of all worlds - a quiet mountain retreat to relax at and disappear into nature, while being close enough to multiple great towns to enjoy what they have to offer as well. The owners clearly love this home, always upgrading to make the experience more enjoyable. Can't get enough of this place!

Another wonderful stay at Windy Knoll

We just had another lovely stay at Windy Knoll... same relaxing scenery where we could decompress and the house that was tastefully renovated! The personal touch and the amenities to make guests feel welcome remain a constant at Windy Knoll, from first quality bed linens/towels, well stocked kitchen/pantry to fresh coffee beans to enjoy and recommendations for things to do in the area! And then also dog bowls and towels for dirty paws for the furry guest! Needless to say, we will be back as soon as we can!
