Family Escape

Our family had a fabulous time at this beautiful spacious home. Enough room for everyone to eat and lounge together is a major plus. Comfy beds and quick responses when inquiries were sent. I'd book it again in a heartbeat, the views alone were a great way to start the day

House was excellent. Nicely furnished inside and out, tastefully decorated, and the view of the lake and mountains from the upper deck and the upper living area was awesome. Outside furniture on the deck was super comfortable, not plastic adirondacks that you see in some of the rentals. Going to mention a couple of things that do not take away from my five star rating nor our overall enjoyment of the stay, but that might help for future rentals. The master bedroom on the main(upper) level has a closet in it that is locked, therefore leaving no closet space and no place for hanging clothes. We ended up hanging our clothes on the hand rail leading to the lower level. 2ndly, the same master bedroom strangely had no lamps on the bedside night stand and there was only one nightstand on one side of the king bed. Because we like to read in bed before we fall asleep, we improvised a second night stand and bought two cheap lamps from the local dollar store. Again, just ideas for the owners/managers to make it even better; this was one of our favorite rentals and stays anywhere, and would recommend it highly.
