Overall, excellent. We stayed 2 nights in winter. Roads were clear. A few other homes in sight but strong sense of privacy. Heating and cooking were good. Good tmobile data reception. Didnt try streaming. TV with DVD player and HDMI input. Driveway is between Bonnynook Rd intersection and american flag. Home is very clean and well equipped for your stay. Hosts are very accommodating and friendly. Top rating.

This house is awesome, has all the accomodations you could ask for. Close to snow play areas, we also had snow around the house. Sofa in the living room is super comfortable! Lots of parking and also there is a carport! My kids loved the house, especially looking for it at night!

Amazing place it is. Amazing people(humans) at heart & at action. if you are looking for a digital detox, this is the place. Strongly recommend. We had a good time with familily. 4 Adults - 3 kids Some suggestions. -------------------------- Picture of entrance view - will make it easy to identify once you enter the property. Can have Wi-Fi/Internet - Not an option if anyone needs to connect to work as the Cell Phone reception at location doesn't help. Can have an upgraded media player (not just a DVD player) Beddings - Beds can be Queen - not comfortable when you are 180 LBS - LOL. - Additional mattresses & Pillows can help ad the couch is an amazing recliner and makes it uncomfortable to sleep.

We were mostly gone during the day, but found it to be very comfortable and clean. There was a pretty view of the forest from the front room.

I was here for a few days, enjoying the seclusion and beauty of the foothills. The house is very well appointed, super clean, and they have thought of just about everything. It was very nice to arrive and find a few essentials waiting for me such as coffee, snacks, and even fresh eggs in the fridge! Great hosts and a great property! Oh yeah, Johnny was incredibly responsive any time I had an issue whether big or small.
