Excellent!

We rented this place to celebrate the graduation of our son from UTC. It was very accommodating for a large group. The view out back is gorgeous. The weather that weekend was stormy, but we still had a wonderful time together. We would definitely visit again.

Clean, great view, wonderful hosts, short drive to eating locations, curvy roads for short periods but that is to be expected in the mountains. Would stay again and would recommend.

Montlake

Beautiful property on a unique lake. Montlake had a big part in my memories & I’m so glad I got to experience staying on the lake. We came with our children & grandchildren & enjoyed meals & games around the dining table. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us to spread out

Mountain Retreat

My family and I had a great time on vacation from Minnesota. We were blown away by the secluded lake and waterfall. We spent lots of time outside on the giant patio. My 2,4, and 6 year old spent time collecting snails and doing laps around the lake. This house was huge with all the amenities needed.

Beautiful and privet

If you are looking for modern and new this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a spacious well loved home, you have found it. Everything was very clean! 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 living rooms, a study, large dinning and furnish kitchen. The art decorating the home is beautiful and the view is stunning. Can you imagine having a private lake with your very own waterfall and path thur the woods. I highly recommend Montlake Retreat.

Great place for group

We had a big group of adults with cars on a climbing trip - this property was big enough to be comfy for all of us, plenty of space and 4 bathrooms so no fighting over showers, lots of parking. There's only 1 key so we had to do a bit of negotiation when we went separate ways during the day, but that was minor. Overall we loved this spot and would stay again.

Interesting and cute

It’s an older house with older decor. The bed comfort was not great but it was very spacious with a lot of bathrooms and plenty of sleeping options. The outside was amazing with a neat trail and excellent views. Overall, pretty good place to stay for the area.
