The view was gorgeous I could have sat on that porch drinking my coffee all day long. The house was everything that was advertised we love the game room first time most of our family had ever gotten to play pool so that was a lot of fun. Our family enjoyed the hot tub morning afternoon and night thank you for a wonderful experience.

Besides a few minor quirks about the house (one thermostat, broken sink & garbage disposal, dirty master shower) this house was perfect for what we needed to enjoy a short vacation in the high country.
