Perfect place to get away!

Everything was exactly how it is described. Wonderful cottage. Minutes from lots of destinations but far enough away to offer privacy. Owners were great to work with, very welcoming and offered fantastic suggestions for dining. Would most definitely stay again!

Comfortable, Clean, Quiet, and Quaint

We enjoyed our stay with our dog who loved the big yard to run and explore. The king sized bed and family room sofa are very comfortable. The place is nicely designed, clean, with updated amenities. The designer chicken coup was a plus, complete with a wolf statue our dog tried to make friends with. Location is easy to get to and offers a mountain vista.

Great spot with views

The place was very clean, beautiful views, easy access. The house is on same property as owners next to their house, so not as private. However, the owners designed it in a way to allow maximum privacy.

Great stay!

Cute, adorable, perfectly acquainted little cottage. The view was incredible and seeing the chickens in the coop each morning was a great way to start the day. While on the owners property, we still felt a sense of privacy and seclusion that we badly needed after two full days of babysitting our very young niece and nephew! We will absolutely come back!
