The house and view was amazing. Exactly what we were looking for to spend quality time with family.

Instruction from the owner were very clear and simple. It’s important to understand and respect this location and the fire hazards. The cabin was beautiful and what we were looking for, but the view was by far the best part. Parking was a little tricky if you have guests so I would recommend reading the parking instructions carefully, but it’s understandable considering the location. Thank you for a great stay!

Always a dream destination

I have stayed at the property three times, and I absolutely look forward to staying again. It’s perfect for myself and my two kids to cook and relax for a weekend.

Unsafe property and negligent owner- would not recommend this place.

I wish VRBO would allow me to share the videos & pictures I have. Throughout our stay, we came across hundreds of ants found on the kitchen counter, stove top, utensil drawer, dining room table and inside the freezer. I only felt safe putting my 6 month old baby down in the living room/upper loft area. We thought we could mitigate the issue with household cleaning products. Later in the evening, we discovered the bottom level of the home (master bedroom) was COVERED in ants including the carpet, under the bed, and the entire bathroom floor. I contacted the owner and asked for a refund so that we could stay at a hotel. He ignored my request and told me he would send his cleaning lady the next day. She used a spray that had a very harsh chemical odor- unsafe for us to inhale. I asked the owner once more for a refund which he ignored. The very LEAST Matt can do is give us a partial refund as we were only able to utilize half of his home and spent a lot of our time cleaning his house. In addition to the insect problem and awful communication with Matt, The sliding door/screen door that leads out to the balcony had note saying “do not open”. Also a note saying “out of order, do not use” on microwave. You are not able to use the fireplace aka stove. Spiderwebs on balcony and stair railing near the front door. Weak internet/phone signal. The view is not worth the agony and discomfort that my family and I experienced. I would NOT RECOMMEND if you have small children/infants.

The check-in process was problematic. I received an email after making the reservation stating that "The lock box code will be texted to the guest once a reservation is confirmed." But I never received the code. Also, the owner's phone # was not present in any of the documentation I received. So at 6pm on the day of check-in, I had to call VRBO customer support and wait 25 minutes on hold (bad customer service) to speak with an agent. I wasn't happy about the wasted time on hold, but the agent was able to get me the code and the owner's #, and communication was good after that. The location is impressive and the balcony view is stunning. My kids loved the bunk bed. There were quite a few ants in the kitchen, so we had to be really careful with cooking and storing food. Parking is a challenge but that's part of the price you pay for living on a mountainside. I would stay here again.

This was my second stay here. I love it!

I stayed here once before and had such a great time that I just stayed again. And I’m already thinking about booking again. It’s the perfect size for a family, if you’re looking for a nice, quiet getaway with a beautiful view. We cooked, sat on the deck, and took in the scenery. I will definitely stay here again.
