Recent reviews:
"This house is a dream vacation stay, from start to finish! It has all the things I look for when I travel: comfortable bed and linens, communicative hosts, a (very) well stocked kitchen, and thoughtfully appointed accommodations throughout. The house is cozy and clearly well loved. I especially appreciate the art, the privacy every guest is afforded by the setup, the roominess (so big!) and the incredibly beautiful creek below the house. Of all the places I’ve stayed in the area (my son goes to college locally), this is my favorite. I’ll be back!”

We STRONGLY recommend our guests come prepared for inclement weather. Often mountain roads can become impassable from heavy snowfall. We encourage our guests to be prepared with extra supplies such as food/beverages etc.  4WD or AWD is highly recommended in the winter months. Do not attempt to maneuver around mountain roads if you are not familiar with how to operate a vehicle in the snow or a vehicle with tire chains in the snow. Please observe local weather advisement guidelines.

This particualr home has a small creek which guests may have to occasionally drive over to access the home. Please exercise caution in rain or flood condiitons. (Per the onwer, it has never been impassible in 20+ years/ It is broad and flat and has a steep drop at the edge under the foot bridge, water flows faster after heavy rain) howveer we advise guests to always exercise caution around creeks/mountain roads. 

Firewood can be purchased at most local grocery/convenient stores.
