Very nice and quiet area. Easy check in and check out. But house definitely needs upgrades and attention. Furniture is very old and unstable. Carpet has pet pee stains in upstairs and downstairs so there’s a faint pee odor when you first walk in the house. The balcony is super unstable and loose wouldn’t recommend leaning up against it or touching it.

This house is beautiful but has some maintenance issues such as tiles coming up in the master bath and a cabinet door falling off, a beautiful but very saggy couch that was hard for us old folks to get out of, windows that didn't open and close, a stove where only two of the 4 burners worked, old mesh chairs on the deck that rotted through while we were sitting in one. However, these are all relatively minor maintenance fixes that once corrected will give this property back its "10" status. The narrow private road to the property is also in need of maintenance with broken pavement and several pot holes that made it difficult to navigate in the dark. But even with the maintenance issues we loved the place. We saw 4 Elk one morning and a Coyote the next morning.

We very much enjoyed the amazing view.The location of the house was close to all that was needed. We were, however, disappointed with the cleanliness of the house and we found a live scorpion on the kitchen floor. Thank you.

Mixed! The location and views are great! Cleanliness was good. Furniture is acceptable but not super comfortable. Kitchen had everything you would need but dated. Deck was concerning! Railing at one end was screwed into rotten wood and had no integrity (potentially very dangerous). Nice having a gas grill but it didn't heat up past 250d. Took forever to grill some burgers.

Good Value
The property is as listed. The deck off the back has a quiet, somewhat obstructed view - a nice place for morning coffee. The home is an addition off the top of their garage. There are many places on the exterior that are in need of repair, but the rental price reflects that. The interior was clean with the exception of the bathroom floor. There was also an adult scorpion in the dishwasher after we used it. The code to get in was wrong when we arrived, and even when changed the door was difficult to use. We ended up just leaving it unlocked when we exited.

We enjoyed our stay. The road up to the house was a bit of a challenge at first, its a private road and not maintained by the county...but we got used to it. When opening the front door, put in the code and then pull out toward you turning the handle before opening inward.A nice peaceful place to stay
