Very nice property, gorgeous view. Unfortunately we could not use our portable propane outdoor firepit/firebowl on the patio because of city ordinances. Home & amenities were all 5/5.

Great home and location in Alto Lakes. Easily our favorite place to stay. Warm, cozy, plenty of modern amenities, and still has the cabin feel. Our host was great to communicate with and very accommodating. We can’t wait to come back again!

My family spent five days, four nights at this property. Very well-appointed, plenty of room, a TV in every room, and amazing views for miles. If you’ve never stayed in the mountains, you might as well start at the top and this is the place.
