Great family vacation home

Lovely home with thoughtful details for the whole family to enjoy. My little ones loved the slide on the bunk bed, game table that converts to play foosball, air hockey, ping pong and pool, and other board games offered. Cozy blankets in every room as well as plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all spacious. Kitchen was well stocked and offered some tea and coffee options. As mentioned by homeowner, the hill to get to property is steep but we never had a problem. Quiet for enjoying the deck but close enough to parkway to get to Anakeesta and other fun.

Great place, lots of Bears

We had a wonderful stay at Korin's house. It was clean and had a great layout for our family. There was plenty of towels, and well stocked with toiletries. The location was also perfect. We were close to town but still felt a little removed. There were LOTS of bears for us to see. I felt like we were on a bear highway, 4 or 5 came past daily including a mama and 2 cubs. We didn't feel comfortable letting our little kids out to play much but they certainly enjoyed watching the bears from inside. I would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Multi-Family Retreat with Daily Bear Sightings!

We had an incredible stay at this wonderful house, perfect for our multi-family tour! The layout is functional and spacious, accommodating all of us comfortably. The location is fantastic – we were thrilled to see bears every single day, making it a great spot for bear viewing. The kids absolutely loved it! One thing to note is that the road leading to the house is narrow and winding, so be prepared for that, but it was part of the adventure for us. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we can't wait to come back!

Winter Break

Great spacious home for adults and kids. Only downfall is the road into and out of the house. It’s very narrow and would benefit from being a one way road.

Great getaway in the woods with bears

Property sits in a quiet, wooded, community, where we were lucky enough to have multiple bear sightings. Road to the house is steep and winding in some parts, we would recommend coming there during day light the first time. Ample space in the home with 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, all with great toiletries. Ample towels. Kitchen was fully stocked with all basic items. Any issues we faced were made right.

Beautiful location fantastic amenities

Upon arrival we were unimpressed with the exterior but decided to cut them some slack as it appeared to have recently stormed. All of the outdoor seating was soaked and dirty. The giant checker board was also pretty filthy. We didn’t look at the hot tub as it was very warm and we didn’t think it was necessary. Once we climbed over the weeds to the front door we were thrilled as we stepped inside. This place was BEAUTIFUL. The listing looked exactly like the photos on the inside and the beds were like sleeping in heaven. The water even tasted better?!? I dont know why but it did! The kids LOVED playing downstairs and the adults took the upstairs to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet in the mountains. At night, we could hear the music and see the lights from Anakeesta! Very cool! The road was super steep and narrow, so 4 wheel drive would be best but we made it fine in our front wheel car. Only slipped a little once when it was raining pretty hard. Overall we LOVED this house. The location was amazing, the amenities were wonderful, and we will definitely be back. Our only note would be to clean the outside too!! We would have loved to use it!
