"The house was set up with lots of privacy, bedrooms and bath were in good locations. The kitchen had everything you needed to prepare meals. Plenty of games to play. There were hiking trails nearby and a park along the river. The only issue we had was the outdoor furniture on the back deck needs to be replaced. The air conditioner was incredible! Great view of the mountains from the deck. We did see some deer roaming the neighborhood, very friendly."
