  Very clean, tons of space, very comfortable and can sleep/house 12 or more easily. Close to Mt Home and super fishing at Calico Rock we stayed three nights and everything was great. Fire place was not usable (by design) and I wish we coulda had that but overall 100% satisfied

  From the owner: "Thank you, Jeffrey. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. The fireplace was scheduled for repair in March but the company failed to order the right parts. We will get it working as soon as possible presumably before the cold weather returns. Until then, the outdoor fire pit can be enjoyed year-round and provides a great view of the sunset over the pasture."

• Beautiful home with amazing view

  Home was perfect! Very spacious and was able to accommodate everyone. We did enjoy the outdoor fire pit one of the days! Would definitely recommend!

• Enjoyable Stay with Notable Features and Minor Drawbacks

  5/5

  Our stay at this property was great overall, offering a comfortable and accommodating environment. We would consider it again for future bookings.

  Pros:

  Spaciousness: The property's four-level bilevel design worked for our large group, providing space and privacy. The dining area and additional kitchen table were convenient, allowing options for adults and children.

  Outdoor Amenities: The outdoor patio with an amazing view was wonderful and the nearby horses were exceptional features.

  Cons:

  Bathrooms: The top level, housing four bedrooms, shared had one full bathroom, leading to high traffic.

  Locked Spaces: Many closets and the garage were locked, which was unexpected and restricted our storage options for a week-long stay. The second fridge in the photos was also unavailable. This posed challenges for storing ample food and beverages for our thanksgiving stay.

  Additional:

  Room Distribution: The house's division into four levels offered varied accommodations but also presented some logistical challenges.

  Furniture and Decor: The comfortable furniture was a plus, though the main living room's furniture was worn out and detracted from the overall comfort. The decor was reminiscent of a grandparent's home.

  Suggestions for Improvement:

  Property Description: Future guests would benefit from knowing about the bathroom arrangement, locked spaces, and fridge availability beforehand.

  Furniture Update: Buy a new living room furniture set.

  Overall, 5 stars!

  Everybody loved our stay , the house was set up very nice, from the ground level walk in, to the back porch, horses, and outdoor play equipment for the children. It was excellent. We had 5 adults who stayed together and everyone had privacy room and bathrooms. we came to visit our 6 grandkids and they loved the house too. Everyone especially loved the horses so friendly. The week was a hit with everyone!!!!
