If you want to be in town there is not a better location. Charming home, great backyard on the creek, and garage/game room is large and full of fun stuff to do when you’re not adventuring on the lake or in the mountains. Loved our stay; owner super responsive and kind.

Home away from home

We stayed a few days and it felt like home. Play room was bonus for noisy kids to play, nice backyard but lawncare was a little behind, kitchen well supplied, only one small tv, beds were comfy, plenty of towels. Great location for walking around town.
