Firstly, the location is fabulous. It's the last house on a dead end street and you can barely see any other houses, even from the deck and the hot tub....just miles and miles of pine trees. Secondly, the host anticipated her guests every possible need. The house is equipped with great amenities. The kitchen and bathrooms are very well appointed. I was surprised to find the kitchen had both a regular coffee maker and a Keurig, with a large variety of coffee pods and even four different flavors of individually packaged Coffee Mate creamers in the fridge! Several tea varieties and an electric tea pot too. The kitchen counter had a bowl of snack size candy bars to welcome us, plus a big basket of items to make S'mores with. The host was immediately responsive when it was necessary to text her with a question or two. The house is all on one level, but was a tad tricky for our 74-year old companion to manage the steps, especially in the thin air but she was still glad she came. Our favorite feature was the big deck to take in the scenery and breathe the cool, fresh mountain air. Hot tub at night gazing at the stars was icing on the cake. I'll definitely return to this relaxing retreat. On a side note, I ended up with a low tire that apparently had a slow leak so I called the Strawberry Motorwerks. They were extremely busy but when I told them we were visiting from out of town they took my car right in and fixed the tire on the spot so as not to interrupt our activities :)
I honestly can say you will be hard pressed to find a prettier view than this! The cabin is so welcoming and relaxing. It's hard to be inside with a view like this! The pictures don't do it justice. The entire process was easy and the host was great. We cannot wait to come back again very soon! I don't have anything bad to say, just perfect!
We enjoyed our stay at this location. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed. We had one issue but the property owner was very responsive and resolved the issue so that our stay was not affected. The location is great at the end of a street and view is beautiful. It’s quiet and the jacuzzi was enjoyed by everyone.
We had a relaxing time here with our family and pets.
