This Vrbo rental was true to its description. You're in the fresh mountain air, up on Cedar Ridge. The studio was clean comfortable and well supplied. I felt safe and secure. The outdoor private space was a joy to relax in, at days end. The hosts were attentive and pleasant. I found them a great resource for my walking, hiking and driving questions. Communications with the hosts were easy and I received responses promptly. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would return.
