Homey and comfortable accomodations in beautiful surroundings

My daughter and I surprised my husband for his 50th birthday with a trip to the mountains. I searched and searched for places to stay, but kept coming back to to this particular lodge, so I contacted the owner and made reservations.
This place is very comfortable with an "at home" feel. My husband even commented that it wasn't so "fancy" that you were afraid to touch anything. It is nice, but very livable. We absolutely loved the fireplace; it is beautiful. We admired it the whole time we were there.
When we were there, the leaves had just started to change colors and the ground around the lodge was covered in yellow and orange leaves. It was beautiful. The sounds of the creek were so comforting and we built a fire in the fire pit a couple of nights and made s'mores. We walked the trails that surround the property and enjoyed nature. We also saw deer and turkeys while there, which my husband and daughter loved.
After long days of riding through the mountains, stopping at waterfalls and shopping at the antique stores, it was comforting to come back to the lodge to rest.
I dealt with Maria, the owner and she was teriffic and very pleasant to deal with.
You can't go wrong with renting this place. The whole experience was great.
