Our stay at the Christmas House was absolutely wonderful. Secluded, amazing views, open floor plan, and a back porch with everything you need. Most of our time at the house was spent on the back porch. Great communication with property manager.

Four friends from high school (now in our 50's) stayed in the Christmas house and had an amazing time! The house itself is beautiful and well-equipped, but the Christmas decorations made it so fun. We loved all having our own bedroom and bathroom (no one had to walk across the hall to get to their bathroom) and the outdoor space was incredible. The pictures on VRBO don't do justice to the amazing views or the beauty of the home. We all said we would come here again - I highly recommend this home!
We absolutely loved our stay at this mountain cabin for a long weekend. Lin, the property manager, was on top of everything and answered any small questions we had quickly and accurately. We were a little shocked to see the Christmas decorations up, but really grew to enjoy our Christmas in June! Every morning we woke up to a wonderful Christmas decor and instead of just saying good morning to our friends it was always, "Merry Christmas"! Great place and we have already booked again.

House was fabulous, spacious and very easy to get to. It was supplied with everything you needed. Jet tub was very relaxing and the home decorations were fun. The mountain views were great from every window and the back patio view was superb. The front patio was enjoyable to have some down time with a glass of wine and read a book. Very private with all the plush landscaping. The location of the home in Deer Ridge was fantastic for getting out to visit all the sites, falls and wineries, do some hiking and horseback riding at Dillard Stables. This is a 5-Star home that we will come back to soon.
Great week with friends touring around the mountains. House and views are incredible. House was clean, well-appointed and included EVERYTHING! Property manager was very friendly and welcoming and attentive. Would definitely consider staying here again.
