Great hosts some pictures were not as expected. We walked and walked all around property and couldn’t find any Mountain View’s like seen in the photos. Realized we had to drive to find them. We did love our stay. Next time will definitely choose a option like treehouse, or others not attached to the main home. Some guests were loud in other rooms and setting off fire alarms in room and yelling at each other. Walking heavy footed in the halls at all hours talking loudly. You could definitely hear everything happening.

I’m the midst of the covid chaos in NYC, a haven my first night away was a great blessing to me. The smart TV gave me quick Netflix access, there’s a lovely albeit gentle jacuzzi with water spouts coming from a stone wall, many charming Asian details and the peace of the mountains. Ahhhhhh. A satisfying stay. Not easy to find in the dark as I arrived quite late, but we’ll worth your journey.

It was wonderful. We had a great night of sleep. 
It was so good to be in a beautiful and peaceful place. Thank you!

We had a great time. The room was beautiful and the whole place was so fun to walk around!
