Octagon house
My husband and I stayed here with our three children ages 3,5,and 7. The house was meticulously clean and in perfect order. There is a huge yard with gorgeous mountain views from almost every window. The set up of the house is perfect for families with young children. We will definitely be back!

We had a very restful stay. It was very quiet and peaceful but close to everything. This is the second time we stayed here and we celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary. We can't wait to come back for our 50th!!!

Clean, well stocked kitchen!
The property has everything for meal prepping! We prefer to cook for ourselves and everything was available! We always travel with some of our own utensils and spices, but this property has more than we ever imagined in a kitchen! And the organization of the cabinets is top notch that we’ve seen in home rentals. The cleanliness is nearly perfect. No detail missed. The bird feeders on back deck will provide hours of entertainment. The early fall views are gorgeous.

Wonderful vacation
The house was lovely, clean and accomodating, esp. how thoroughly appointed the kitchen was, with great cookware, storage, etc. The fridge was wonderful, and we loved the lighting. We enjoyed sitting on the porch gazing at the mountains. The location of this house was very close to our destinations, groceries, etc. The only difficulty was the heat buildup upstairs (the air conditioning vent in the upstairs closet was inadequate to cool the bedroom and sitting area, and we were uncomfortable using it, including sitting to watch television. We feel this should be remedied or a the very least included in the description of the home on VRBO. Having said that, we enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful time. This was the cleanest place I have stayed. Go to Mark Dowdle Rd. It is much easier. If you take Prentiss from the north GPS will take you around a two path.
