Mountain life

Our vacation was great!! Plenty to do with all the amenities that are offered. John responded quickly anytime I needed assistance. There was even 2 turkeys hanging out in the yard to keep us company. Overall I recommend John’s house and the hideout to anyone who like “the mountain life”. Thanks again!!

The Hideout

From start to finish (and after) John was responsive and helpful throughout. I was in a unique position as I rented the same house the year before but with a different owner. John turned the house a complete 180. It had the vibe of a B and B with snacks left for us, complimentary sundries in the bathroom and all the right updates. There were ZERO supplies the year before, not even frigging TP. John's pride as a homeowner and host is obvious throughout his home. If you're looking at this listing, just book it. You will not be disappointed. We had 6 ppl from ages 8-75 and everyone had a good time. Even my godparents visited for a couple of days and the process was easy and without any problem. I can't say enough good things about this listing. John has set the bar really high , I'm worried any other experience on VRBO will be a let down.
