Amazing view and clean property

The view is breathtaking. We should be there couple weeks later so we can the full mountain with colorful leaves. But we can tell the leaves start turning color. We enjoyed the morning coffee and hot tub. The location is perfect too, it's remote but also easy driving to downtown. We tried several hiking trails close by. It was really nice. We even saw a bear!!!! Would definitely come back.

We are a family of three, and we love to travel!

Why they chose this property

When we first saw the mountain view from the deck, we fell in love with it immediately. We spent a lot of time working on this cottage, replaced the roof and all furnitures, appliances, to make it a new home.
