Though the pictures were terrific, believe me when I say that this far exceeds the photos. You could not ask for a more peaceful, private, stunning setting than this home. Every window, every angle is just another spectacular view, and there are multiple places to enjoy yourselves outside, all while in complete privacy.
While inside, we were blown away by all the extra touches - the structure of the home, from unique lighting to the way it was laid out just right to absorb the outdoors, to the cool bathrooms, and more. Then all the extra touches from Lisa, the WONDERFUL host - local pottery, PLENTY of towels, extra linens, blankets galore, and the kitchen was so stocked, you could host your family's holiday party there and need to bring nothing. I don't even like to cook on vacation, but I had no problem doing so there.
We went with a group of 13+ ladies for a women's retreat, and they all couldn't get over how perfect it all was. Some ladies enjoyed lounging downstairs catching up on their netflix, others outside, plus of course we explored locally. Lisa was SO accommodating! She answered all of my questions, gave additional suggestions for where to explore and where to eat and was always available whenever I had a question.
This is the 5th or 6th time I've stayed in the mountains in different areas, and this time has spoiled me for anywhere else. What I loved about this area was it is more rural than a typical mountain town getaway. A big part of the enjoyment was the journey and the feeling of being somewhere that was not so spoiled by man yet. Even if you are not into arts & crafts (me), you MUST at least go into a few of the local craftsman studios. We happened upon one while he was blowing glass, and he let us stay while explaining everything he was doing; it was absolutely amazing! Thank you Lisa for creating the perfect getaway!
