We stayed at Shannon's very last minute. She was very helpful and the place was really clean. We will definitely tell our friends and family to stay there. There is a path to a great lookout behind the house, which is absolutely breathtaking and you feel like you are on top of the world. Can't wait to stay there again!

Our weekend stay was great.  close to places we wanted to visit.  beautiful surroundings.

Place was clean and suited our needs for a place to crash for the night but the final price with fees was higher than a hotel room. Perhaps for longer stays the price would have been more reasonable. 
there was a strong odor of mold upon entering the front door. The smell was less noticeable as you went up the stairs. I was also awakened at 4:30am by a rat or squirrel chewing something in the wall near my bed.

Everything was very nice for a quick overnight get away!
